Family Recovery Institute

I was so fortunate to attend a training with Kenneth and his team. Wow what an experience! This group is extremely knowledgeable about family systems and works in amazing and unique ways to help families heal. They have a deep understanding of how a wounded family might operate in ways that continue the dysfunction. Through their empathy and compassion they are able to guide each family member to understand their role and begin recovery on their own and with their loved ones. I am still thinking about all of the wonderful things I learned and putting them into practice. His training was helpful for me as both a clinician and an individual. This is a tremendous resource for families looking to heal and connect as a unit and as individuals. So much thanks to Kenneth, Baaba and Kevin!

I just completed a Family Therapy training with Kenneth Perlmutter and it was amazing. His knowledge, skill and experience in treating families, especially in an addictive system, are remarkable. He's a true expert in his field. He's compassionate, funny and easy to connect with and he has the utmost respect for his colleagues and clients. I look forward to learning more with him and his excellent staff including Baaba and Kevin. Thanks again!

I have worked with Dr. Kenneth Perlmutter for several years. I have referred individuals, couples, and families to him for consultation and ongoing treatment. As the Clinical Director of a treatment center that treats dual diagnosis patients struggling with mental health issues and substance abuse issues, one of the key components to the treatment has been the work with families.

Dr. Perlmutter has extensive knowledge and experience helping patients and their families navigate the confusing, terrifying, exhausting, frustrating, and destructive disease that is addiction. He has a personal style that is compassionate, open, honest, and direct. The development of the Family Recovery Institute is an excellent space for families to heal and rebuild the bonds that are frequently broken by this disease.

Kenneth Perlmutter (San Rafael) is one of the most dedicated clinicians I have known--and I have known him for 30 or more years. Family Recovery Institute embodies his energy, intelligence, vitality and relentless attachment to growth and truth. I recommend Kenneth and the Family Recovery Institute with no hesitation or reservations.
