Family Counselling Services in Schomberg, ON.

Families are complicated. This is why we work from a family systems approach as we do not believe that one person is the problem, but rather we look at ways to improve the overall family system so that things can flow more smoothly for all. Our family therapy can involve some, or all, family members. The focus of family therapy is to allow for everyone to feel heard, identify family strengths, and make adjustments for areas of improvement.

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.

i understand that family therapy can be a powerful tool for strengthening relationships and overcoming challenges. My approach to Family Therapy is focused on facilitating healthy communication, mutual respect, and deepening understanding between family members.

During therapy sessions, I actively work to create a safe and supportive space where family members can communicate openly and build understanding.

I am passionate about working with perinatal mood disorders and parenting issues. I feel this is an under-served population that needs more recognition and resources.

Therapy can provide a safe environment for families that seek to repair their relationships. The problems generally stem from a much earlier time, when it was hard for family members to understand the nature of their conflict. Each person often has felt hurt and misunderstood, and these feelings have perpetuated over time. My approach is to encourage dialogue between them to help them understand the dynamics that have prevented a fulfilling relationship. I also try to establish the positive intentions of the work they are about to do. Therapy is intended to give them insight into what went wrong and how to repair the relationship while working through the difficult feelings and mistrust.

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.

When one family member is depressed, stressed, angry, or otherwise not at their best, it deeply affects the rest of the family. Sometimes individual therapy is the correct path, but often, addressing relationship dynamics within the family system is the quickest, most direct way of dealing with the issue. I work with all ages and all combinations of family members.
