She uses an integrative therapeutic approach, focusing on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).“The notion of ‘family’ is deeply tied to the sense of who we are in the world… we feel deeply that if our families cannot acknowledge us, love us, and support us, no one else will. Some may say that it does not matter if we never loved parents or siblings, or they us, but it does matter. No matter how far we travel in miles or achievements, our family belongs to us and we belong to it. In fact, in sometimes eerie ways, our experiences in our first families are repeated with our marriage partners and children and, in many cases today, with our subsequent ‘blended’ families.” ~ Monica McGoldrick
