Family Counseling Services in Plumas Lake, CA.

A family is like a mobile, it takes balance to make it work well. Balance with work and play, balance with parents and children's needs, talking and listening (that is a biggie). We all need to be heard even if we do not agree with another person. Parents need to have consequences when the kids do not follow the rules of the home. Without consequences the kids keep repeating the same things. Children need eye contact from their parents. There are simple helps like these that will make a beautiful difference in your family life.

Family therapy is often the treatment of choice for families who are confronted with specific crisis situations, (such as death, divorce, illness, or child/adolescent issues). When the family is the client, I assess the way members interact and work to improve communication and problem-solving skills, as well as resolve the current life stressors. Each family member plays a role in the way the family interacts and is seen as a vital participant in both the healthy and dysfunctional styles of interaction. Therefore, in family counseling the goal is to assist each member to work together more effectively to create a more functional family unit.

Family Counseling does not just incorporate the married couple. Family counseling involves the children, parents, grandparents and possibly even friends of the family. If your relationship issues stem from something more than just a conflict directly in your marriage, you may benefit from family counseling. In these sessions, I will meet with the couples as well as the extended family members that must learn to communicate better with one another, achieve common goals, and learn to work together. The family is the most important team you will ever be a part of. Learn how to make it the best team.

When there are challenges in parenting, teens acting out, blended families trying to become a joint unit, and other conflicts; family therapy can help. All persons are invited into the therapy office to solve problems, open up communication, and develop new patterns of relating that work. If you're looking for new solutions to the troubles in your family, don't wait, there is help available.

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.
