Family Counselling Services in East Gwillimbury, ON.

Are you a parent challenged by the illness of a child? Do you feel exhausted & sad at times? Has your partnership or marriage become strained? Is your family unit having trouble staying positive and enjoying one another due to stress and anxiety? I can help you develop coping strategies, restore balance, and manage the day to day challenges using brief solution focused therapy.

My family therapy provides coaching, support, guidance and empowerment to all members. I coach parents to become better "parenting coaches", and children to become better "game of life" payers. I help each member tap into his/her "life tools" and empower personal abilities, flexibility, and self-control. It is not "power over" another person, but "power shared." It is about becoming the right person. When you focus on your own behaviors and the way you treat the person you love, it will not be long before things begin to change. we can make ourselves do what we need to do in order to become the kind of person who is worthy of being in a healthy family relationship.

Family therapy can be an exciting adventure as we listen to each perspective, identify each person's strengths, and develop a new family vision. Counselling may include parenting styles, creative discipline, styles of communication and setting healthy boundaries. All ages may be involved in this process and use of role-playing and toy figures make sessions more fun as we learn from each other. A discussion of family of origin may help each person understand how they attach in relationships and the possibility of a healthier dynamic. Therapy is individualized for each family, to be the most effective.

Family dynamics can be complex, and working through issues together can lead to more harmonious relationships. I offer family therapy to help address conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen family bonds. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we work on understanding each family member's perspective and developing strategies to resolve disagreements and foster a healthier family dynamic. Contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start improving your family relationships and building a stronger, more connected family unit.

Trish joyes works specifically with parenting coaching. Parenting coaching assists in overcoming battles between parents and their children. It also assists in understanding behaviours, disabilities and other areas a parent may be struggling with that their children happen to be going through. Parents benefit from better relationships with their children, having calmer homes, and grasping some of their children's behaviours.

The relationships in your family can often bring you love, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. But when things aren't going well, your relationships can be exhausting and painful. Family therapy provides a safe and fair space for all of you to be heard, and can help you discover and process the root of the issue. Family therapy is hard work, but when all individuals are willing to put the work in, great things can happen.

We are made for both being in relationships, and for being unique in our individuality. Putting these together in a way that honours both individuals and the family as a whole is an ongoing challenge. Our goals in family counselling is to clarify what those challenges are, the factors which contribute to them, and ways of resolving issues so the family and its members can not only survive, but can thrive.

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.

When working with families I aim to focus on common ground and shared hopes and goals. This sets the stage for collaboratively working through conflicts so that common goals can be achieved. Focusing on positive family experiences and strengths of the family are also helpful in reconnecting family members. Understanding relationship patterns and encouraging new ways of communicating and interacting often allows families to practice different ways of being with and understanding one another and can often alleviate tension for more pleasurable family experiences.

In family therapy, I provide a supportive space for your family to come together, improve communication, and work through challenges as a unit. Whether you’re facing conflict, stress, or feeling disconnected, I help each family member feel heard and understood. Together, we develop healthier ways to resolve disagreements, strengthen relationships, and create a more harmonious and connected family environment where everyone can feel supported and valued.

My family therapy approach involves seeing the whole family initially to understand each person's unique perspective, provide safety for each person to express themselves and to give each person the opportunity to determine their comfort level with me as therapist. I will then work with parts of the family (eg, siblings, parents, dyads such as Mother/Child, Father/Child, Sib/Sib) to support recognition of the unique cycle each group/dyad experiences as problematic in having the closeness and safety they desire within the family. I use Emotion Focused Family Therapy which is based on attachment research and which acknowledges our need to be known and loved by family members.

As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, I can create a safe atmosphere where you and your family can work on difficult issues. Even though the work can be tough at times, the reward of family connections outweight the cost. My expertise can guide you and your family in building meaningful relationships that will last a life time. You will feel more understood and validated as a result of family therapy.

Our team specializes in working with parents through parent coaching, and directly with children ages 6+.

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.

With a Masters of Science degree in Couples & Family Therapy, I'm highly knowledgeable and experienced in how to help families grow and support one another.

Models of therapy I incorporate for family therapy include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

If your family is in conflict, we can help. Often times when a child is struggling with mental health issues or there is some change in the family unit such as separation/divorce or a big move, members in the family are under great stress which can disrupt the flow of the house. Family therapy can help everyone work through challenges and learn how to communicate better, ultimately bringing more satisfaction and enjoyment to the home.
