We are told it "takes a village," but what happens when the village is overstepping? Conflicts with in-laws and extended family are among the top stressors for couples in Westchester. Whether it’s boundary-crossing on holidays or unsolicited advice on parenting, PPG provides a neutral ground to navigate these complex loyalties without damaging the relationships that matter.
Our approach
The Insight
We help you identify "Loyalty Conflicts." We look at the family-of-origin patterns that make it hard to say "no" to a parent or an in-law, helping you understand the emotional weight behind the boundary.
The Action
We provide Communication Scripts. We help you and your partner get on the same page first, then we practice the actual words needed to protect your nuclear family’s peace while maintaining a respectful connection to the extended system.
Clinical methods
Boundary Calibration
Learning the difference between "Building a Wall" and "Setting a Gate."
Holiday & Event Planning
Proactive clinical strategies to survive (and enjoy) high-stakes family gatherings.
The "United Front" Protocol
Ensuring you and your partner are never "split" by outside family pressure.
How specialties work together at PPG
The PPG Difference: Extended family stress often bleeds into the marriage. Our family therapists can bridge your care into our Couples Pillar to ensure your partnership remains the priority, even when the "Village" is loud.
