Family Therapy

Mentalization-Based Treatment

Family therapy at KM MHC takes a holistic, integrative approach rooted in mentalization principles. By helping each family member understand their own mental states and those of others in the family system, we create space for more compassionate and effective communication. This work is informed by Kyle's extensive experience in family support programs and his training in Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment (AMBIT) for complex systems.

What to Expect

Family sessions bring multiple perspectives into the room, creating opportunities for each member to be heard and understood. We work with the family system as a whole, exploring how patterns of communication and emotional response develop and how they can shift toward greater understanding and connection.

Who This Is For

Families navigating 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.
