Through all the highs and the lows that life takes you through. I now know how to cope, understand, balance, accept and free myself and my mind. Having that one person to talk to, with no judgment, with opening arms and an open mind and heart, therapy has saved my life. Therapy was a discovery, a beautiful thing. I truly don’t know where I’d be today handling life and everything it throws at you without the help, communication and support she showed throughout this journey. read less

Here at Suffolk Family Therapy, we help frustrated parents regain confidence in parenting and build a better understanding of their children and themselves.
Young adults often feel like they are thrown into the world. From one moment to the next they go from having life taken care of for them to endless paths, decisions and choices.
Just like you, children and teens experience a range of emotions: joy, frustration, anger, grief, sadness, insecurity and more. The environment surrounding the child has an impact on these emotions.
Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence,
sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a
