Family Counseling Services in Arlington, WA.

My extensive training in family systems theory helps me to promote better understanding and collaboration between family members. When one or more individuals are having problems I will help you understand them through focusing on family patterns as well as the parts played by individuals. We will come up with ideas and new ways of behaving based on deeper understanding of everyone’s contributing role within the family system. My goal is to help your family become a strong connected support system for any member in need of extra care.

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.

No matter how you define your "home" or "family", it is often the place and the people you count on for some sense of stability. When family relationships are strained or broken, it can lead to mounting frustrations and daily conflict. There are times when meeting together with two or more family members is what is needed to establish a sense of shared understanding and a vision that will work for everyone. Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services specialize in helping both individuals and families get back on track with strategies that enhance satisfying and meaningful outcomes for the entire family.

Family therapy is really different from individual counseling. The family "as a whole" is my client and I work with a systems model. This means the how people interact becomes the focus. When we feel more love and connected we feel better. The opposite is really true. When our family is not doing well, we walk in and instantly don't want to be there. I am committed to helping families move to the next level of communication, support and trust. Families can make or break you. You can really grow when you have the love and support of a family. I create a safe environment for the family to begin to resolve conflicts that hold them back. Call today for an appointment. Erik 425-334-8916
