Family Counseling Services in Hobart, WA.

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.

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

I help couples to come to a consensus, to get on the same page, when it comes to raising children, to truly present themselves as a parenting unit, and thus have a more peaceful and rewarding family life. Our children have enough friends in their lives, what they truly need from us is to loving confident, and united parents. I can help you to achieve that.

Maintaining healthy relationships between family members is important for your overall health and happiness. Everyone wants to experience close connections with the ones they love, and work towards building a life where everyone's needs are respected. Family counseling can help improve relationships between spouses, parents and children, extended family members, and even other families. Maintaining a healthy family environment is one of the most important things you can do for yourself, your children, and future generations. Whether your family needs help adjusting to change, overcoming a challenge, or If negative cycles are rampant in your family history, consider Christian family counselin

I help families find ways to encourage one another while working toward shared goals. Between first hand experience in residential care and as a family therapist, I have nearly 30 years of experience working with exceptionally challenging children. I teach strategies that minimize conflict through patience, respect, and understanding. Families experience a dramatic drop in conflict begin to look forward to their time together.

Family relationships form the beginnings of all other relationships in our life. Learn tools and understanding on improving communication and positive feelings in your home. Difficult relationships can be changed and family members that are stressed can find relief and new patterns of coping. Getting help for your family will pave the road for a healthier home life and the ability for each member to nurture their future relationships.

I am the director of Meridian Counseling Services in Kent where I have a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist on staff. He uses a systems therapy approach to working with families. He specializes in couples, older children, adolescents/teenagers, parenting concerns, and step-family dynamics. Please visit our website to find out more: www.meridiancounselingservices.com.

Working with the whole family is a very powerful and effective therapy method. When family dynamics feel tense and tangled caused by events such as a child running away from home, addition of a new family member, issues between parents, teenager growing pains, etc, my therapy can find practical and health skills to reestablish these relationships. Together we will work through communication issues, the needs and the unspoken expectations of family members. A strong and healthy family system can be facilitated through a trustful therapeutic relationship we build together.

Families operate as a system, where what each person does affects the others and the family dynamics as a whole. My goal in Family Therapy is to help each person within the family to have a voice and to know their value and also reflect on how they impact the family as a whole. We often take certain roles in our family and operate under these roles out of habit. It is important to examine what role we have taken up and whether that fits with who we are and who we want to be. There is room for everyone to have autonomy in a family and still be a part of the system.

Many times, couples come in to see me for their interpersonal relationships, starting with the two of them. If they have children, they are often concerned about the effect their problems are having on the kids, and would like to see them receive help from the counselor as well. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am equipped to have the children join our sessions. Call me at 425 652-1413 if you would like your children included in the therapeutic process.
