Family Counseling Services in West Bend, WI.

Family Therapy is crucial in helping families improve their communication with one another. My goal for family therapy is to create a safe and respectful atmosphere for all members to feel heard. Active listening exercises and activities are strategically used to help better bridge family members together. My goal is for each family member to have a voice and participate in their therapy.

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.

As a family unit, working through conflicts and disagreements can be a challenge. Not everyone has the same perspective or viewpoint on a given scenario. Communication is key, but only if it is within a healthy environment where those involved are willing to listen to the other's perspective with an open mind. Sometimes a mediator is required to help guide the discussion in a more positive/respectful light.
