Family Counseling Services in Monongahela, PA.

Family Therapy provides family members, whether its two members or the entire family, the opportunity to voice their feelings, emotions and concerns. The participants may feel more comfortable sharing their concerns in an atmosphere that is open with a nonjudgmental professional overseeing the discussions. Based on your family’s current circumstances, a unique treatment plan will be created to fit your families specific needs. Commonly used therapies include the following: Structural Family Therapy (SFT) Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Bowen Family Therapy family therapy focuses on treatment of the family system not the symptomatic family member or problem.

If you have resentment, trust issues, infidelity and resistance in your relationship, I offer techniques like group hypnotherapy or couples EMDR where each person can focus on their emotion that they want to work on and do the release exercises with me, as a way to compliment healthy communication or thinking patterns in the relationship. This is not traditional talk therapy at all - it is solution focused, with each person working on processing traumas or burdens that they hold within themselves.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I know that no one is an island; we are all affected by the relationships we have. Families are complicated. Change brings tension and can feel threatening. An outside perspective is especially important when you are facing challenges you don't know how to address. We'll work together to develop a better understanding of how your family functions and learn new ways to handle conflict, communicate and relate to each other in a healthy way.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.
