Family Counselling Services in North Grenville, ON.

Family Therapy initiates an awareness of and a respect for the very different reality and experience held by each family members. it facilitates awareness of the uniqueness of each family member's individual identity, rather than promoting individual family members as a reflection of the other. Understanding unfolds such that family members are capable of developing a map of reality that reflects the awareness of, and respect for, the important needs of each family member .

In family therapy, the focus is on the interactions of those that are affected by the presenting concern and strengthening relationships of the family system. Although some concerns may appear to apply to one individual, involvement of family can have positive benefits on both the individual and overall family functioning. While family therapy may often focus on child-parent relationships, other loved ones such as grandparents, caregivers, siblings etc. are invited to attend where you see fit. As the therapist, I strive to help facilitate a space in which each family member has equal opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

Families are a natural system under which the members of the family relate and interact. It is important to learn which are this interactions that create the specific system in which the family lives. As well the patterns of their attachment show how they communicate with each other and how the different events of the family's life will be experienced and dealt with.

Family dynamics are often complex minefields of well practiced relations with roles that are well defined through years of pattern behaviour. To change any part is to change the system and the system isn't easy to change. Families can benefit from having a third party help identify these patterns and sort out the positive from the negative with the ultimate goal of finding new ways of interacting and being that can hopefully expose the greatest opportunity for the family system to work for all its members. Let's work on being better.

When an individual in the family experiences an ongoing issue it typically affects the entire family. In family therapy Sarah involves various family members in sessions to assist them to understand how each member's behaviour affects the others. This benefits the family by assisting them in learning new communication and conflict resolution skills and by helping to create greater closeness and sense of commitment through the resolution of family hurts and traumas. Typically family therapy results in improved communication, a greater ability to work together as a family team, a greater sense of mutual respect and connectedness and a resolution of the issues that cause division in the family.

Family relationships are complex and are oftentimes impacted by various events, life transitions, and societal shifts. I believe that every family is unique and that your efforts to navigate challenges are valid and purposeful. As a family therapist, my aim is to help you strengthen your relationships with one another and to support you in finding a balance between your individual and family needs. I also help you to identify possible areas of stuckness and conflict as well as strengths and resources, so that together, we can create hoped-for solutions. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

When I provide family therapy, I focus on helping each member understand their role in the family system and how their patterns affect communication, conflict, and emotional regulation. Clients benefit from my direct, structured approach. I help families identify exactly where communication breaks down, what triggers escalate conflict, and which dynamics keep them stuck. In sessions, I guide families in learning concrete skills such as active listening, setting boundaries, expressing needs clearly, and reducing reactive behaviours. I use a combination of systemic thinking, emotion-focused strategies, and DBT skills to help members stay regulated while talking about difficult topics.

My interest in Family Therapy grew out of my work with patients in acute care hospitals. As I interacted with the patients and their families, I realized that if one family member is in pain, all the family members are somehow affected. This insight caused me to shift my focus away from the more traditional psychodynamic theories I was earlier taught in University and to focus instead on how family therapy and family systems brought healing. This growing body of literature, which started in the 1960s, has revolutionized my thinking, enabling me to find a more generous, holistic, and integrated approach to patient care and family healing.
