Family Counselling Services in Carleton Place, ON.

We specialize in family therapy and work with the complexities, intensities and multiple layers that are a part of family life. If you are stuck in a cycle as a family that is hurtful or inhibiting let us offer input and clear direction that will guide you to a new path as a family. Parenting patterns that are not working can be repleced with more effective ones. We will provide you with some new tools and help you move toward the closeness you yearn to have with one another. Sometimes it is time to let go. Making this decision can be hard but there are sign posts along the way that we can help you identify and rely on.

Familial units can oftentimes become caught in cycles of miscommunication and misinterpretation that builds up and solidifies through the years. My approach to working with families is identifying such cycles and unearthing and understanding each member’s intentions. I believe that more often than not, family members have good intentions, and when this is brought to light, defenses can soften, and the healing process can ensue. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Family dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and family therapy can help each member of the family unit find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Giving each family member the chance to feel heard and valued while also navigating external stressors like work and school can be a struggle, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change, while highlighting each member’s contributions, and celebrating the family’s successes.

I have extensive experience helping families of all cultures, ages, and configurations to learn to talk so the others will listen and learn to listen so the others will talk. Breaking down barriers within a family is so important. It is vital to feel accepted and connected. The two important elements that people need to feel on top of the world are, being connected to others and being in control of their life. It is never too late to try to stop the negative patterns that have developed. My job, as the therapist, is to facilitate change to occur and to give you tools to aid this process.

Family dynamics are complicated. Each family has established patterns, such as how everyone communicates within the family system, how they deal with stressful situations and conflict, their roles in the family unit and how members seek support from one another. While I do not offer family therapy sessions, my clinic, Psychotherapy Collective has many child and family therapists availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

As a family therapist, I witness the transformative power of family therapy every day. It offers a unique opportunity for families to come together in a safe and supportive environment, fostering understanding, communication, and healing. Through therapy, families can address underlying conflicts, improve relationship dynamics, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another. By exploring family patterns, beliefs, and behaviors, we uncover root causes of distress and work collaboratively to implement positive changes. Family therapy empowers individuals to express themselves authentically while promoting empathy and connection among family members.

Every family has a sub-culture of its own with unique with ways of think and doing that are distinctive, dynamic, and fluid. Ever changing with multiple stressors both from within and without, families must have the capacity to adapt and adjust to different ways of being and doing as children grow and as life circumstances change, Sometimes, families can get stuck in these stages of change. I work with families facing challenges in communication, in life transitions, and other factors to move them towards healthier communication and support for its members.

Within each family are the experiences of each family member. In family therapy, you, and your family can explore how each member’s roles and perspectives impact the family as a whole. You can learn to cultivate a family environment grounded in respect for individual experiences, sense of connection and shared understanding. I work with individuals, couples and families.
