Just for Professionals

With l out of every 3 Americans in the role of Stepparent and an estimated 15 to 20 million Stepfamilies in the United States, it is very important that as therapists we understand the issues that face a Stepfamily. Stepfamilies often try to “fit” into a nuclear family role and then cannot understand the feelings that arise that result in turbulence, hurt, anger and concern that they made a “mistake” We can offer Stepparents and Stepfamilies the help they need to understand and normalize what they are experiencing in Stepfamily life.
