Your in-laws are ruining your marriage (or is it your own parents?). There’s no other way to say it. They’re difficult, demanding, and they don’t even see it. In fact, they claim it’s you that’s causing problems! Could it get any more frustrating?
The stress this is putting on your marriage is over the top. It just can’t continue like this. You and your spouse get tense and snippy with each other after a phone call from the in-laws, and visits are just a nightmare. And let’s not even get started about how it’s affecting the kids! It’s just not fair.
But there is something you can do.
You may never be able to change your mother-in-law. But you can learn how to set boundaries that work for you and your family. You can learn how to protect your family from the stress that comes with a relationship with your parents. In rare cases, you may even decide you need to cut them out entirely.
We’ll also help you and your spouse develop a way to communicate about this very sensitive situation. After all, this is his/her mother we’re talking about, even if she is the Wicked Witch of the West!
You don’t need to suffer this impossible situation any longer. Let us help you turn things around and achieve the peace and family harmony you’re looking for.
The truth is, often in difficult family situations like yours, the relative who is causing problems isn’t wicked, and with a dose of family therapy, you can learn not only to tolerate each other but to build and enjoy a meaningful relationship as well.
What if You Are the In-Law?
You know your relationship with your child and their spouse is strained. But for the life of you, you cannot figure out what’s going wrong. Is it something you said or did? Is your child’s spouse pulling them away from you? What is it?
You so desperately want a relationship with your child – and maybe your grandchildren just as much, if not more. You can imagine being cut off from your child or their kids, but somehow that possibility seems to constantly look in the background.
All you want is to be close with your child, and everything you do seems to push them farther away. But it doesn’t have to be like that. You can turn things around and rebuild this relationship.
You can reconnect with your children, and their children too. We’ll help you take a look at yourself, at your situation, and at your family and guide you towards a better place.
You’ll get to be a part of your son’s life again. You’ll get to hear what’s going on with your daughter. You’ll get to build a meaningful relationship with your grandchildren.
We’ll help you get here. Contact us today to find out how you can get your family back.

Our Testimonials
Raffi made me enjoy going to therapy. I have learned to talk through issues that seemed impossible and I feel so much better about the communication in my relationship now.
Tyson V.
Highly professional but down to earth. Both my husband and I felt completely understood and valued; something couples often fear simply cannot be achieved. I’m sure we’ll return we need a “tune-up”!
TA
I will always be grateful to Raffi for helping me through a very challenging time in my life. Within a few minutes of our first meeting, I was comfortable talking to him. I would highly recommend Raffi to anyone.

I met Caitlin about a year and a half ago. I automatically felt comfortable with her. She has a warm disposition and so friendly. She really made an effort to get to know me.
Chavi Shpilsky
Raffi is insightful, intuitive, experienced, and has a sense of humor. I would recommend Raffi to a friend or relative without qualm.
Channah C.
Caitlin is very professional–I found her organized, attentive and thorough. She made herself available when I had to reschedule sessions and she would follow up with me on her own time if she knew I was going through a challenging experience. She is one of the most top-quality people I have ever met.
Amanda Rosner
In such a short time, you worked wonders! One or both of us may return in the future but please know we’re both indebted to you. We’re back to cherishing our time with one another and back to looking forward to a long life as husband and wife.
