Reduce negativity and generate hope with family therapy at Summit Counseling

By Sponsor
1/2

Arguments to get off electronics, isolating and not engaging with the rest of the family, and emotional outbursts directed at parents are probably a sign your child is struggling and the family system needs help.

“Deep down the child wants to share their pain, but reaching for parental comfort and facing rejection hurts too much. It’s safer to keep the pain inside and cope alone,” said Matt Levine, certified emotionally focused therapist (EFT) at Arlington-based Summit Counseling.

When children stop going to parents for comfort, the family typically has entered a negative cycle. Children typically hear parents’ good intentions as criticisms and feel like disappointments.

“EFT is trying to access how each family member views themself in which there is no safety to talk about in the negative cycle. The therapist helps people talk about parts that are unknown to them,” said Levine.

In family therapy, parents learn about blocks in the relationship with their child they are not aware of. “Mom does not realize how deep her feedback digs and dad does not get that when he insists on doing a math equation his way while doing homework the child starts pushing away, “ said Levine. “When good intentions don’t lead to good results, there is a problem.”

“Family therapy helps parents become the irreplaceable attachment figure their child needs as they confront a difficult world,” said Levine.

Could private school be affordable for my family?

So many of the families we talk with during the admissions process are wondering if private school tuition could ever be affordable for them. 

They recognize the value of the small school and classroom, the opportunity for extraordinary educational experiences, and the potential to finally find a school that fits their kid. They also have to live in reality, where the tuition costs are substantial, and they wonder if they could be affordable.

Just Listed in Arlington

Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market. This biweekly feature is written and sponsored by Coral Gundlach Homes.

Hello Arlington!

Coral Gundlach here with Coral Gundlach Homes at Compass in Arlington. I’ve been an Arlington homeowner since 2001 and a Realtor since 2004. I love this real estate market, even though it has its challenges.

Happy May 3! Fortunately, no corny Star Wars jokes are allowed, until tomorrow.

The real estate market in Arlington continues to have plenty of action, though it has calmed a bit with the rise in interest rates. Buyers are still out here looking, but sometimes thinking things over for more than an hour or two. There is a slight uptick in inventory, typical for this time of year but no great influx compared to past years, and we are still historically low.

We currently have a total of 252 listings Active in the MLS in Arlington as of the time I am writing this, and a total of 65 listed or re-listed in the last week. These numbers will likely change by publication.

Detached listings:

  • Of those 252, 111 listings are detached single-family homes, ranging in price from $660,000 to $4,900,000.
  • Only 29 of these were listed in the past week.
  • 15 homes went under contract in the last week, and 9 of those went straight to Pending rather than Active Under Contract, indicating solid offers with no contingencies.

Condos and Co-ops:

There are 120 Condos/Co-ops currently active. 113 of those are condos. There were 25 condos and 2 co-ops listed in the last week. 28 went under contract in the last week. For condos, prices range from $235,000 for a 533 square foot one bedroom in The Chatham, built in 1965 with fees of $432/month to $1,395,000 for a 2 bed/2 bath 1,600 square foot 2013 built unit in Gaslight Square. Fees are $730/month.

Townhouse listings:

This week we will dive deeper into details of the townhouse listings and feature my latest listing, a Ballston Townhouse gem in Ballston Oak at 1134 North Stuart Street #1 in the 22201 zip code.

Of the non-condo townhouse segment, there are only 18 active in Arlington. Only 6 of those were newly listed and only 4 went under contract in the last week — 2 Pending, 2 Active Under contract. The new listings range in price from $565,000 for a 2 bed/2 bath in the Barcroft area in 22204, around 1,000 square feet with HOA fees of $158/month to our featured listing which is a 3 bedroom/3 bath, 2017 built townhouse in Ballston for $1,350,000. HOA fees are $192/month.

It is loaded with features that make it feel brand new, a gourmet kitchen with quartz counters, top-of-the-line appliances, an open floor plan, solid oak flooring, and a 2-car garage.  The roof deck is extraordinary, with sweeping views, a pergola, rooftop garden and so much space for entertaining in warmer weather.
