Family therapy services in 80476: Silver Plume, CO. Relationship and couples counseling.

I established Evergreen Family Matters to treat behavioral and emotional problems within the context of the family structure or system. I work with families and couples in intimate relationships to facilitate and nurture change and development. The issues of an individual family member are often a reflection of some conflict within the family system as a whole. To understand this better, consider the example of a mobile. When you move any one piece of a mobile, all the other pieces move too. They do not exist in isolation from one another, and "movement" in any one part of the "system" will affect all the rest of the parts of the system.

Often one member of a family carries and acts out the hidden issues that lie beneath the surface of family life. Children often unconsciously inherit the unresolved problems that have not adequately been dealt with by their parents. Blended families make the situation even harder to understand.

Families are strongest when people can count on each other to be there for one another and open discussions lead to health behavior changes.

Whenever there is distress with one member of a family, it affects every single other person in that family. The most effective way to address issues within a family is to work with each of the family members individually, then bring the family together as a whole. This works to heal past hurts and optimize communication. Your family can come together as a healthy, happy group. Contact me to determine if family counseling is right for you.

Family can be our main source of comfort and safety. It can also be a source of conflict, and difficulty. We spend the most time with our family, so if there's ongoing conflict, life at home can be tough. Family therapy is about getting to see the underlying needs in each other, and meeting those needs so that we can let go of the conflict and move forward. As humans, we all have the same needs and emotions, so they work as a universal language. I will help you get to the root of family conflict so you can all get your needs met and move forward.
