​

In family therapy, the focus is on assisting families as they manage challenges, stressors, and transitions. Merrimack River Wellness is focused on ensuring that each family member has a voice and contributes to the shared vision and development of plans and strategies to achieve understanding.  Merrimack River Wellness approaches family counseling with families from a family systems model, and IFS informed approach.

​

Guardianship Support

​

Assistance to parents, families, and caregivers of individuals about to turn 18 or over 18 who may require a guardian to assist and support decision-making. We will help determine whether pursuing guardianship is appropriate, and meet with providers, family members, and the individual in need of guardianship to advocate and document the level of support needed.

​

We are licensed to complete the clinical team report to support guardianship petitions.  This includes:

​

• Providing information and resources to caregivers regarding the guardianship process

• Reviewing all necessary evaluations/records/assessments (IEPs, neuropsychological evaluations, psychological assessments etc).

• Meeting with the family and individual in need of guardianship, as well as caregivers in order to complete an accurate and timely Clinical Team Report
