I'm looking for recommendations for a family therapist who does virtual sessions so that we and my nephew, who lives out of state, can engage in family counseling. My nephew had a traumatic childhood and is now parentless. We are quasi-parental figures for him but our relationship has broken down. We are seeking the help of a family therapist who knows how to handle trauma, and who is willing to do online meetings. Thank you for your recommendations.

Family therapist needed to help repair broken relationship with 22 y/o daughter
– Oct 11, 2016(1 reply)I'm looking for help with repairing my and my husband's relationship with our young adult daughter. The tip of the iceberg is that we are concerned about choices she's making that are potentially dangerous to her future. We are uncomfortable with what she's doing and who she's with, to the point that we can't have her live with us. We always had a close relationship when she was growing up and she was a seemingly mature and easy to work with kid. We are dealing with navigating the waters of adulthood, and coming to terms with not liking her choices but still loving her, and having her perhaps recognize that she may need to look more closely at what she is doing and why. Below the surface though are many other issues, the impact of some poor parenting (conflicts in parenting styles and power struggles which impacted our relationships with our kids), not recognizing the signs of anxiety and depression, drug use, and sibling issues. Our daughter also has issues of gender identity and the repercussions of sexual assault, which we learned of much later. We are (all of us) sad about where we are and looking for someone who can help tease out all these issues and help us to find some way forward. Oakland would be great in terms of location. Someone who is on Aetna would be even better but insight, problem solving, and the ability to listen and help us listen is the best. Thanks.
