Dr. Helen Reynolds, LMFT, PhD. earned both her masters and doctoral degrees in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Reynolds works with individuals, couples, and families struggling with all sorts of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship conflict, parenting issues, loneliness, chronic illness, grief, and life transitions. Her overarching goal is to work with clients on creating more balanced, enriching relationships with the important people in their lives, freeing up energy to spend on the things that matter most to them.
Dr. Reynold’s therapy approach is grounded in Bowen family systems theory, which views the family as an emotional unit and explains how the emotional functioning of each individual is connected to the emotions and behavior of other members of the family. Bowen family systems theory can help people to become aware of how the emotional circuitry in their own family is operating, and to work on making more thoughtful choices about how to act in response to others.
