Family Counseling Services in Fort Walton Beach, FL.

Family therapy involves two or more members in the family unit. Everyone will get a chance to get their needs heard in session while learning ways to effectively interact with the other members. There are many reasons for families to come to family counseling: enhancing communication, parent / child conflict, divorce, new baby, blended families, problems in school, bullying, etc.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Simply stated, the goal I pursue in family therapy is to help family members improve communications, to gain understanding, solve family problems, and handle special family situations. This will ultimately result in a better functioning home environment. The psychotherapy should reduce stress and conflict by improving the interactions between family members. As a family therapist, I seek to have all family members affected by the problem in the room; use different techniques to accomplish the goals.
