Family Counselling Services in New Tecumseth, ON.

Family counseling is a very powerful tool to assist a family in distress to understand the dynamics that are part and parcel of the human experience and to make choices toward a more balanced family experience. Appreciating that we live in times when family constellations are varied and diverse, what remains the same is that 'the family' provides a context in which we all desire to feel safe, loved and loving.

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.

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.

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.

We often see photos on social media of happy families living their best lives, which sometimes leave us feeling like we pale in comparison. There is no such thing as a perfect family. We all experience the messy stuff. Being a part of a family can be a place of protection, safety and love but can also be where deep-rooted pain lives. Unresolved issues within families build over time and can get passed on from generation to generation. My intention is to offer a safe place for families to to express concerns without fear of blowouts or further breakdown. Healing can occur when support is provided by a therapist who can facilitate communication and help repair what is broken in the system.

Our team specializes in working with parents through parent coaching, and directly with children ages 6+. We practice from a family systems perspective in order to bring about long term, sustainable change for all members of the family. We have an approach that is sensitive and down-to-earth, allowing our clinicians to join with family members across generations and cultures.

We all learn differently, express differently, and quite often perceive experiences differently because we bring a different "lens" and that is why your counsellor needs to be CREATIVE and FLEXIBLE. As parents we feel a deep responsibility to be these great parents and raise remarkable kids, but life isn't so easy and we are far from perfect. We need to give ourselves a break sometimes because we are only doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way. No matter how large your family is, lets find solutions and have FUN while we are doing it!

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.

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.

Family conflict is a common issue which most of us are faced with at one time or another. I've been able to help hundreds of folks work through various types of family conflict by teaching them how to develop the healthiest boundaries possible to ensure they honour their feelings and needs while establishing a healthier family dynamic whenever possible. Many strategies are offered such as marital therapy, parenting strategies, family communication, development of healthy boundaries. I also have much knowledge and experience working with individuals and families who struggle with living in a family where narcissism or a psychopathy is present.

Life is particularly difficult for families these days. With the challenges of both parents working, the confusing world of social networking and technology, social peer relations conflicts, confusing alignments in the separated/divorced and blended parenting roles, it is no wonder that families get lost. In my sessions, a trusting warm and safe environment is established where clients feel that they can share their concerns and be heard. Through CBT and mediation, the family is given strategies to assist them in getting their family unit working together with the goal of “getting back on track”. Organizational tools and reasonable expectations are important key strategies also given.

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.

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. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

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.

Marianne and Ray use the Satir method of family therapy. We believe that when parents are having issues with their children a whole family approach is advisable. We use a warm and nurturing approach. The emphasis is on improving communication amongst all family members. Everyone's voice gets heard and conflict resolution is generally easily attainable.

Family dynamics can be complex, and challenges within the family unit often affect everyone involved. In our sessions, I provide a safe, supportive space where each voice is heard and respected. Together, we’ll explore patterns of communication, address conflicts, and strengthen relationships. My approach focuses on fostering understanding, improving problem-solving skills, and building resilience as a family. The goal is to create healthier connections and a more harmonious environment where every member feels valued and supported.

It can be hard to adjust and interact with the person growing from the baby you once knew, particularly if you are motivated to help them avoid all the mistakes that you experienced in your life. For your child, it can feel impossible to be understood by you, especially when you find it hard to be understood by them. I can help you build a stronger bond through mutual respect and shared understanding by leveling the playing field that may be dominating your parent-child relationship. You might be surprised just how quickly things can change when you can engage in a well facilitated discussion that seeks to improve things, rather than trying to mold things to fit your expectations.

Family therapy can be helpful for many types of family relationships including parents and their children or even an individual hoping to address internal issues related to their family. I use Family Systems Theory to be able to understand deeper patterns of communication and family dynamics. Our role within our family system can often dictate how we move within the world and our future relationships. This is why it becomes very important to address the emotions and patterns that originate from our family system and use these insights to enter into more fulfilling relationships.

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.

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.

In family therapy, I support improved communication, understanding, and relational repair within the family system. Each member is given space to feel heard while also learning to listen differently and respond more effectively. My approach emphasizes patterns rather than blame, helping families recognize how interactions shape conflict and connection. Clients often benefit from clearer boundaries, reduced tension, and stronger emotional safety within the family unit, allowing for more supportive and respectful relationships to develop over time.
