Services for Individuals

The work with individuals at Princeton Family Institute can assist individuals who are suffering from various forms of depression, anxiety, panic disorders, schizophrenia or other symptoms of what are sometimes called “mental illnesses”.  Treatment may also focus on major life decisions, on personal dilemmas or on how to maximize one's happiness and effectiveness in one or several areas of one's life.  While we help examine feelings, experiences, and behaviors that may be interfering with pleasure or a sense of competence in life, we use a problem-solving approach, so that the treatment is directed toward the goals of the individual. 

With our orientation as family therapists, we are able to draw on family history or family relationships to help resolve individual issues.  Sometimes, adults will meet with one or all members of their family, to have an assisted conversation that can clarify misunderstandings and help relationships heal. These meetings can also resolve longstanding conflicts and generational difficulties that have interfered with the individual's successful development.
