Family Counseling Services in Lake Wales, FL.

Given the wide variety of family issues I have encountered over the years, I have adopted an integrated therapeutic approach. Hence, clients will receive general psychoeducation in a number of areas including: values discovery, parenting, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, boundary setting, sibling rivalry, mutual respect and accountability to mention a view. As your "group therapy leader," session time will be effectively managed. Role-plays will be utilized extensively to allow for relative freedom of expression. In addition, homework assignments are a prominent and prevalent component to our intervention strategy. Finally, priority is given to confidentiality and trust.

Family counseling takes a whole-family, child-centered approach that recognizes how each member’s emotions, behaviors, & experiences impact the family system. I support families with parenting challenges, developmental concerns, communication difficulties, & everyday stressors affecting children & caregivers. Sessions focus on understanding family patterns, strengthening connection, & building practical skills such as emotional regulation, healthy communication, & consistent parenting strategies. This supportive space helps families reduce conflict, improve understanding, & create a more stable, nurturing home environment.

Family therapy sessions foster a safe, neutral space for all members to express themselves, understand each other better, and strengthen relationships. Whether you're dealing with conflict, significant life changes, or communication breakdowns, we help families work through challenges together. With guidance and support, you’ll learn healthier ways to connect, resolve tension, and build a more supportive and resilient family dynamic. Family therapy fosters understanding, healing, and lasting change together, as a unit.

You may have grown up believing that family problems should remain within the family. But, Family therapy can help people in almost all dysfunctional situations. Family counseling can help your family solve problems by approaching and addressing an issue in a structural manner. This can help you cultivate healthy relationship- sand move forward through improved communication by allowing each member of the family to voice their emotions and feelings in a safe environment while helping other members remain open to hearing how that individual is feeling. This improved communication helps family members minimize conflict and strengthen bonds.

As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, we provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for helping our clients to take steps toward their goals. Family therapy can be done with one or more people in the session. We can work with you individually to explore and gain insight into your family relationships, and we can also invite family members to join and be part of the process.

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.

Family therapy is an area that I am passionate about. I feel that most of our issues can find its root in our family of origin. Everyone wants to be heard, and everyone wants to be valued. However, no one is being heard or valued, because we are all speaking so loudly that we can only hear ourselves. Sometimes we need an outsiders perspective to help us each other. I greatly desire to help your family be as healthy as it can be.
