WELCOME to
FAMILY MATTERS
Family Matters can be complicated matters. Intact families have their own set of issues managing different child developmental stages, ups and downs in life, not to mention meeting ordinary milestones. For families navigating high conflict, separation and divorce, even more complications can arise. The professionals at Family Matters will assist your family through these complicated processes. We’re committed to not only providing comprehensive assessment and therapeutic services through partnerships with our expert colleagues, but we custom tailor treatment efforts that meet your family's needs.

Our Services
Families who find themselves in the middle of a family court conflict can rely on our Family Functioning Assessment to clarify the underlying problems and find a therapeutic path forward.
Having a professional "supervise" your interactions with your children may seem unnatural and uncomfortable. Let us help guide you through that process so you can learn the skills that make this service temporary and unneeded again in your future.
No one is a perfect parent. No one. Yet when the critics mirror what you tell yourself, it's easy to feel alone. Our professionals can help guide you out of the darkness of your own mind and find helpful strategies to feel more confident in your parenting.
FAMILY MATTERS: ESTRANGEMENT, CUSTODIAL INTERFERENCE AND PARENTAL ALIENATION
Court Ordered Therapy and Parenting Time
If you find yourself in a situation where you haven't been able to see your child/ren in a while, and there seem to be many barriers to you connecting, it is smart to have a family therapist guide the rebuilding of your relationship. If Family Court involvement has also issued orders for Family Reunification Therapy or recommendations for supervised visitation, we provide a range of services from Evaluation to Treatment Planning to Therapeutic Intervention, to Supervised Visitation with our colleagues at CNY Marriage & Family Therapy Place.

Working with Cristin Manfredi, Divorce Mediator and Co-Parenting Coach, families can begin their journey in creating a more peaceful childhood for their children. Cristin earned a BA in Sociology and a BS in Psychology with a Minor in Conflict Studies and a Master's of Science in Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies at Woodbury College in Vermont which included both interpersonal conflict (mediation) and intrapersonal conflict (life coaching).
Family Functioning Assessments and Reunification Therapy
Family Functioning Assessments provide a thorough look at the history, communication and interaction patterns that are contributing to estrangement between parents and children. These comprehensive evaluations look at the underlying issues AND provide a therapeutic treatment plan that a family can follow to resolve issues and find a healing path forward. These evaluations have made a big difference for many of our clients, provide the court and other service providers with valuable information, and do bring hope and understanding where before there was confusion and desperation.
