  • "Emily Zeller, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and owner of Zeller & Co. Therapy emphasizes taking advantage of any help you can get, including therapy. Zeller shares, “One way to be proactive and make sure everyone is on the same page is to attend family therapy (at any time during the decision making process and after the action plan has been executed). A marriage and family therapist can provide additional support for making these important decisions by creating space to have difficult conversations. There will likely be differing opinions and mixed emotions around this life stage and caregiving decisions. It can be beneficial to have someone help you sort through complicated dynamics and promote effective communication and conflict resolution. Having a third party involved in these conversations allows everyone to have a better understanding of what to expect in the future, allowing the changes to be more manageable and successful.”"
