Family Counselling Services in Mount Albert, ON.

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.

Research shows when one family member is struggling, all the members of the family are affected in some way. Giving each person in the family a safe place to voice their concerns can help families improve communication and resolve conflict. Family therapy addresses the behaviors of individuals as well as the dynamic between family members. • It can provide vital communication skills. • Help family members develop healthy boundaries. • Promote problem-solving • Build empathy and understanding

Family therapy can be a powerful tool for improving communication, strengthening relationships, and resolving conflicts.

In order to gain a better understanding of a person's situation, their behaviour is explored in the context of Family Systems Therapy (FST). FST looks at the family as an emotional unit and identifies the patterns of interactions that are maintaining the challenges, including the patterns of communication & language used to discuss the challenges. This helps to better understand the impact of family dynamics, family values, beliefs about gender roles, status or power of family members, and cultural & ethnicity on a person's self-perception. I also use strengths-based practices with families in order to transfer strengths of individuals & family systems into therapeutic awareness.
