Family Counseling

Things are “out of control!”

Each month as you pay your mortgage or rent, you wonder why it creates a pit in your stomach – because your home is a “war zone.”

You dread going home after work. There is one problem after another in your family, causing you angst, distress, and an inability to focus.

Addressing behavioral issues from your children is costing you time, money, and energy, and you do not seem to be making any progress. The situation is getting worse – not better.

You and your spouse disagree on how you should address issues with the children, adding marital tension. As a result, your kids, like sharks, “smell blood in the water” and take full advantage of the situation.

Family therapy can help gain control.

Therapy helps families overcome problems that create divisions and conflict.

Your therapist can sit down with your entire family, observe interactions, listen to feelings and grievances, and provide a neutral, nonjudgmental facilitator role.

These sessions are open to all family members, including children who can talk freely without punitive consequences. You, as parents, can gain insight and understanding about what your children are feeling and experiencing at home.

During these sessions, your therapist can uncover disadvantageous and unconscious alliances in your family that disrupt the function of the family unit.

Regain a functional family unit – one in control.

As a family, you can create positive communication and relational patterns to have a healthier functioning unit.

Everyone can learn about each other’s needs and patterns and gain skills to communicate better and in a manner that is easily understood and productive.

The result is a more harmonious, well-functioning family unit. You can develop a place where you all have “fun” together, making new memories and nurturing healthier, positive relationships – ones to cherish for a lifetime.
