Family Therapy

MBT · AMBIT · Feminist · Person-Centered

Family therapy at KM MHC is rooted in mentalization principles — helping each family member understand their own reactions and those of others in the system. When one person's mental health challenges affect the whole household, the goal isn't to assign blame but to build mutual understanding. A person-centered foundation ensures every voice is heard, while a feminist-informed lens addresses power dynamics and role expectations. Kyle's AMBIT training is particularly relevant for families involved with multiple providers or services.

What to Expect

Family sessions bring everyone into the same room — literally and figuratively. We look at how patterns of communication and emotional response developed in the first place, and what it would take to shift them. The focus is on the system, not just the identified patient.

Who This Is For

Families affected by a member's mental health challenges
Parents seeking to improve communication with their children
Families experiencing conflict, disconnection, or major transitions
Multi-provider treatment teams seeking family integration

Our Approach

Drawing on both MBT principles and AMBIT (Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment), family work at KM MHC addresses the complexity of family systems. AMBIT is particularly valuable when families are involved with multiple providers or services, providing a coherent framework that prevents fragmented care.
