Family Counseling Services in St. Petersburg, FL.

My approach to the healing of the family is to work with each individual in the family system bringing healing from damaged emotions. When this is accomplished, the family is able to relate from an emotionally healthy perspective. I also do temperament analysis which enables me to understand and share the unique temperament of each family member. Creation Therapy (temperament analysis) gives you your unique creation genetically coded into you at the time of your conception. Your temperament determines how you perceive God, yourself and others. CT identifies your strengths and your weaknesses. CT identifies your needs and how to get them met. Do not wait.

I use the family systems model for family therapy. Families will learn how one person's behavior or an event can affect each family member and ultimately change how the system if functioning. Verbalizing emotions and perceptions of one another will be addressed thru fun therapeutic games that each member can particpate in. Families will learn a great deal about themselves and their family dynamics. Families will learn constructive communication and appropriate boundaries within the parental dyad and parent child relationship.

Family life can be both deeply enjoyable & extremely painful...differing opinions, single parenting, the stresses of finances, parenting issues, adolescent rough spots, working through the painful process and recovery in divorce, differing lifestyles, career challenges, workaholism, overwhelming commitments, drug abuse, boomeranging children in a down economy-have great impact on family life. Some walk on egg shells while others show explosive emotions-or both. Whatever the situation, my clients experience a safe environment where everyone is given respect for their point of view. Gaining skills & workable way that at minimum everyone can “live with” & potentially heal & thrive is my focus

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.

In family therapy, the family itself is the client. That's because each individual member is as important as the rest in forming the family and each one is playing a key part in the family's situation. Members of a family share an emotional history and sometimes this history (or the past) gets carried into the present, often to an extent that causes unhappiness or misunderstanding. Communication is another key factor. Often, just pointing out and clearing up communication patterns can of itself allow much healing (as well as prevention of future unnecessary conflicts).
