Family Counseling Services in Bedford, NH.

Family therapy is offered at James Foster & Associates. Clinicians will help families to navigate through difficult times as it relates to their family. Some areas that may be addressed are family roles, relationship problems, stress, communication, family crisis, health issues, behavioral problems, divorce, co-parenting, blended families, school and work issues. The clinician will provide counseling that will support each family member. This may include counseling as a family unit and/or individual sessions. The clinician will do an intake to assess the problem areas and will discuss a treatment plan that will be most beneficial for all involved.

As a psychologist who focuses on marriage and relationship counseling, and works with families, I find special interest in the Holiday Season! It offend provides useful opportunities for my clients to observe the dynamics in their own families of origin. Doesn't it often feel too easy to slip back into the old interaction patterns? It's like families have a certain "gravitational pull," and as a family therapist I believe we can learn a lot about ourselves as individuals, as well as improve family life, by better understanding the families from which we came and the family life we now are creating with our spouses and children.

There is a lot of folks who need help with blended families, families with ACOA issues, family of origin patterns that have been passed down that are life stealing, and an inability to manage the marital relationship when there is a health issue with a child, or one another. Anything can cause an imbalance in the family dynamic and we work together to give a voice to each member and look for solutions to bring healing to the family unit.
