Having different people, with different roles, expectations and mindsets can create a dynamic that won't last too long. Without healthy boundaries, family members can seem more like housemates, that frustrate each other to no end, than a family that cares for and respects each other. Our expert in this area is professor Megan McCoy, Ph.D., LMFT, AFC®, CFT™, whose expertise involves marriage and family therapy, as well as financial therapy. 

Teaching courses at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels at Kansas State University, Megan McCoy, Ph.D., LMFT, AFC®, CFT™ has published over forty articles in top-tier mental health, family science, financial counseling, and financial planning journals
