Family Counseling Services in Bonney Lake, WA.

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.

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.

Conflicts between family members can be complex and emotionally charged. Professional treatment could be highly beneficial if recent life changes, parenting challenges, emotional disorders, or behavior problems are straining relationships within your family. Our therapists will work with families to find understanding and equilibrium. Whether your family has experienced divorce, is in the process of blending, or anything in between, we welcome all types of families.

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.

We often have families with unique needs and wants that take a slightly different approach. Family dynamics have many moving parts and sometimes meeting with 1, 2, or all family members is required to understand the parts and the challenges. A systems approach is pulling together the many parts, assessing and evaluating, and moving forward with a plan for individuals and the system itself. Blended family dynamics, divorce, abuse, and various other family challenges are common with some of our clientele.

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.

Relationships are some of the most shaping aspects of a person's world. Family therapy considers improving people's relationships as the most way to improve their lives. Whether it is better communication with a partner, warmer interactions between a parent and child, confronting a caretaker about abuse or neglect, or finding forgiveness for hurting someone you love, family therapy uses a system's approach to shape your relationships into what you want them to be.

Family Therapy is done from a holistic systems perspective. We examine the challenges you experience as a family, the dynamics of communication, the age of the children involved, and the relationship issues between the members in the family unit. This requires everyone to be open, honest, and reflective, and to be willing to try new ideas. Supportive resources are also provided to enhance the counseling work done in this practice.
