Family Counseling Services in Walnut Grove, GA.

Family relations can sometimes become challenging to manoeuvre and can cause discord in family relations. Some topics can be very sensitive to address, can be highly triggering, reopen old wounds and bring back traumatic memories. This is why having the right support system in a controlled environment is very important. Part of healing and recovery requires honesty, vulnerability and transparency. I do a one on one sessions first with each party and then we come together in a group to help mediate with effective, clear, respectful, communication. If you are ready to help your family heal in a safe space, contact me today!

I am good with working with two people in the family. Mother /Daughter, Daughter/Father, Son/Father, Mother/Father. I help foster better communication between the two of you strengthening your relationship. I help you to create a common vision to work towards and a more harmonious relationship. Both people must want change in the relationship and put forth an effort.

Family is where we garner meaning in our lives, as well as a sense of history. Family should contain our most satisfying and happy relationships, but often families are fraught with anger, worry, and sadness. Negative family patterns are often passed on to our own children as we raise them. Family therapy can help you identify these negative patterns and learn new ways of relating to our loved ones. In family therapy with me, you will learn how your negative behaviors came into being, how they affect others around you, and what you can do to change them, to create a newly crafted sense of family.

I have many parents that bring their child to me and in essence say "please fix my child". It usually involves the entire family working together to fix the problem that is showing, which is typically through the child. The child is really saying "please help me and my family" with their behavior. Family Systems Theory supports this belief and I have seen it work with people that are willing to make positive changes dozens and maybe even hundreds of times.

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.
