About FACTS:  The Family and Couples Treatment Service, a division of the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy, was originally created to meet the needs of a growing number of couples and families seeking psychotherapy.  Our philosophy is based on the recognition that human development is best understood within the context of family relationships - past and present.  We therefore approach difficulties in living through a consideration of the family life cycle, specifically how families negotiate their way through various transitions.  FACTS is a treatment and educational resource committed to helping people deal effectively with the challenges of family and couples relationships.  We view family therapy as a two-fold process that explores recurring interpersonal patterns and helps find active solutions to difficulties in relationships.

Treatment:  Family and/or couples therapy can help with a wide range of issues.  Our staff has expertise in the following areas:

• marital and family issues
• unmarried couples
• lesbian and gay couples and families
• divorced or remarried couples
• single parent families
• substance abuse in families in conjunction with 12-step programs
• parenting issues with children and adolescents
• eating disorders in families
• multicultural couples and families
• trauma and the family

We offer family and couples therapy at a moderate cost and respond promptly to requests for help.  At an initial interview, you and an intake worker will discuss selection of a therapist, treatment planning, and fees.  Fees are set on a sliding scale based on income and many insurance plans are accepted.

If you would like to set up an appointment or would like further information, call the Family and Couples Treatment Service at: (212) 333 - 3444.
