Family Counselling Services in Lacombe, AB.

While not a specialized family therapist, I have worked with families to understand the various embedded patterns and rhythms within these units which both contribute and irritate one's well being. As much of our ways of knowing and being in world are established within our families of origin, exploring issues within the family system brings healing to the family system.

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.

Healthy communication and regulation skills foster positive and healthy family relationships. In session, we can explore and build on a family's communication skills, ability to navigate conflict or family crisis, and improve family coping styles. Together, we can build positive practices to provide a safe and supportive environment for you and your family.

Cory has had over 15 years of practice doing family therapy using many different models including systemic theory, structural theory and strategic models... To name only a few. Not only has Cory been working with families for an extensive period of time but has been able to apply many of these skills to his own family/children. Cory's general belief is that although the complete family is preferred, family therapy can be done with only one or two individuals as long as we can impact change from just one source.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds.

We live in a society that believes we are just isolated and independent individuals but we are persons interconnected to our families, communities, and culture. The problems we struggle with exist within these contexts and it is critical to explore the influence of these contexts and their relationships with the problems. In Family Therapy we will explore together the various systems and interactional patterns that continue the problems experienced. Call today to book an appointment.

I have worked families to strengthen connections and enhance communication for over 20 years. Virtual counselling can take place with family members who are in multiple locations. Though video counselling you and your family can be together even when you are apart. Every family is unique. We are who we are. Together we can celebrate and learn from each other when we listen to hear.

Keystone Child and Family Therapy provides a systems approach to counseling, which includes marital and family therapy. Each family is unique in their strengths as well as their needs and Keystone aims to highlight these in the road to wellbeing. This type of therapy focuses on the interaction between family members to increase healthy attachment and positive relationships. Family therapy is offered in combination with play therapy for children to help strengthen parent-child relationships as well as support a child through their own counseling process.

I use strength based family therapy by combining Structural Family Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Through the use of finding a common goal the family members can practice positive interactions with each other, and create more harmony and understanding within their family. Working together, the therapist and clients create a safe place to enhance family relationships.
