Family Counselling Services in Almonte, ON.

Every family has a sub-culture of its own with unique with ways of think and doing that are distinctive, dynamic, and fluid. Ever changing with multiple stressors both from within and without, families must have the capacity to adapt and adjust to different ways of being and doing as children grow and as life circumstances change, Sometimes, families can get stuck in these stages of change. I work with families facing challenges in communication, in life transitions, and other factors to move them towards healthier communication and support for its members.

Family dynamics are complicated. Each family has established patterns, such as how everyone communicates within the family system, how they deal with stressful situations and conflict, their roles in the family unit and how members seek support from one another. While I do not offer family therapy sessions, my clinic, Psychotherapy Collective has many child and family therapists availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

Within each family are the experiences of each family member. In family therapy, you, and your family can explore how each member’s roles and perspectives impact the family as a whole. You can learn to cultivate a family environment grounded in respect for individual experiences, sense of connection and shared understanding. I work with individuals, couples and families.

We specialize in family therapy and work with the complexities, intensities and multiple layers that are a part of family life. If you are stuck in a cycle as a family that is hurtful or inhibiting let us offer input and clear direction that will guide you to a new path as a family. Parenting patterns that are not working can be repleced with more effective ones. We will provide you with some new tools and help you move toward the closeness you yearn to have with one another. Sometimes it is time to let go. Making this decision can be hard but there are sign posts along the way that we can help you identify and rely on.

My interest in Family Therapy grew out of my work with patients in acute care hospitals. As I interacted with the patients and their families, I realized that if one family member is in pain, all the family members are somehow affected. This insight caused me to shift my focus away from the more traditional psychodynamic theories I was earlier taught in University and to focus instead on how family therapy and family systems brought healing. This growing body of literature, which started in the 1960s, has revolutionized my thinking, enabling me to find a more generous, holistic, and integrated approach to patient care and family healing.

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.

I have extensive experience helping families of all cultures, ages, and configurations to learn to talk so the others will listen and learn to listen so the others will talk. Breaking down barriers within a family is so important. It is vital to feel accepted and connected. The two important elements that people need to feel on top of the world are, being connected to others and being in control of their life. It is never too late to try to stop the negative patterns that have developed. My job, as the therapist, is to facilitate change to occur and to give you tools to aid this process.
