MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY
MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY
Welcome to MatthewZito.com. This website is devoted to the relationship model developed by Matthew called The CEME Model © (Communication, Empathy, Mindfulness, and Effort). Used to bring focus and clarity to the therapeutic experience; the CEME Model © is used as a conceptual tool that explores communication styles, belief structures, the components of mindfulness, resistance, and effort as interdependent pieces of a whole. Treating relationship based issues in this way allows us to deconstruct them by determining if the issue(s) are related to a breakdown in communication, a lack of empathic connectivity & awareness, mindlessness, or effort / follow-through. Once this is clear we move to identify the patterns and beliefs the issue(s) represent; then we explore and implement treatment strategies all the while assessing for effectiveness and resistance to change.
Once you change everything around you changes.
*** Please note this site contains only brief descriptions and explanations of the theory behind the
model (CEME ©) and it’s application. For more information or to make an appointment please use
