Family therapy services in 95219: Stockton, CA. Relationship and couples counseling.

I specialize in online parent coaching with the goal of helping you and your family have a closer more intimate relationship. After 11 years of working with children and families, I have concluded that this is the most effective way I can support families because you parents are the leaders of your home. If I can empower you through my knowledge and experience to implement some strategies at home, you can achieve your goals for your family. The support I provide will be sufficient for many families, but there are some situations that could benefit from the in-vivo coaching and direction that in person family therapy provides.

Family Therapy has benefits beyond the individual because it allows for each member to bring their strength to each session and to have imput where the environment is safe. Ina family session, members have the safety to say what they want others to hear, with the trust that the family will use the information shared as tools, not weapans (including outside the sessions). The effective and healthy communication skills (i.e., active listening, paraphrasing, empathy, support) developed and used in family therapy is generalized to home and community. As the family communicates more effectively, conflicts are reduced and self-worth and trust can be re-established and increase the quality of life.

Is your family having constant battles, difficulty communicating with one another, or having difficulty resolving their differences? Seeking support from an objective and nonjudgmental therapist can help. I provide family counseling focusing on supporting each family member, enhancing communication, building stronger bonds between family members, conducting family discussions, and approaching family problems in an a effective and objective manner.

Family dynamic can be very complicated. When problem occur with one member of the family it can have a devastating effect on each one of the family unit. Lack of communication, respect and consideration can tare the unit apart. I offer eclectic approach from efferent theories to tailor to the needs of each family. I offer warm and safe environment for families to learn how to grow and move back toward closness, understanding and love.

Family life if complicated. Not only do we bring our own baggage to the relationship but all of the other family members bring theirs too. Many of the issues that come up are communications issues and many are due to our nervous systems being either on hyper alert or shut down from past traumas and an overaccumulation of daily strresses. Working as a team we build on the strengths of the couple/family and we also tease apart the less functional areas to understand them more fully. Then we devise a plan for working with the issues. That might involve working as a couple/family or it might involve individual session to resolve whatever issues we each bring into our relationships.

Family therapy can be challenging and extremely rewarding. I can help your family sort through issues that tear you apart. Through peaceful negotiation and active listening techniques, your family can learn to communicate in a respectful and loving way so that any issue can be resolved in a way that nurtures and protects the family unit as well as each individual involved.

I love working with families! I know that it is important for each family member to feel seen, heard, and included. I can help families create healthy boundaries with each other and work through parent-child and sibling problems. I also help families improve their communication and work through divorce, the loss of a fmaily member, and changes or transitions that occur and through family members off-balannce.

Family therapists are trained to look at family dynamics and to work on relationships, treating the family as a whole instead of each individual separately. We know that a family can be a wonderful source of healing, but it can also be a tremendous source of pain. Healthy relationships take a lot of work. It’s not always easy to share our lives, so family therapy aims to help build strong and satisfying relationships. Family plays a role in who we individually are and it can adapt and build resiliency by showing support, understanding, connecting, and finding new ways of relating. Family therapy allows the family to connect in moments of pain and explore new family roles and behavior.

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.

Involving the family members in therapy can be extremely helpful in dealing with issues such as anger, co-parenting, and addiction. I also work with adolescents and their parents by bringing them together into sessions so that everyone can be heard in a supportive setting. Family members who have different communication styles can benefit from being in a therapeutic setting so that all voices can be heard and understood.

I believe that as we grow up we are shaped by our relationships; this starts from the time we are little and continues for the rest of our lives. Through these relationships we are also shaped by society. In being shaped we create various meaning from our experiences as well as receiving and giving instructions on how to live. When we form new relationships of any kind, this gets challenged; coming together and finding a path forward that celebrates all involved is the key to success.
