Family Counseling Services in New River, AZ.

We know that healing occurs in the family and that when you only work with one part of the family it is hard to create lasting change. One of the keys is to get everyone on board speaking the same language and communicating in ways that support each other and build on the strengths that are already existing in the family unit opposed to one person being the "problem".

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.
