Family therapy services in 06259: Pomfret Center, CT. Relationship and couples counseling.

Not only is emotionally focused therapy helpful for couples, it is also helpful for other relationships as well, such as sibling relationships, and parent-child relationships. I currently see family relationships at a max of two family members present in sessions. I do not see families wanting to work on their relationships with children who are minors at this time. If you are looking to improve a relationship in your family whether with a parent, a sibling, or an adult child I would be glad to walk alongside the both of you on your journey towards healing by utilizing my expertise in emotionally focused therapy.

Families can experience conflict, communication challenges, parenting difficulties, blended family adjustments, behavioral concerns, or the stress of major life changes. My approach to family counseling focuses on improving the health of the entire family system by helping each member feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we identify unhealthy interaction patterns, strengthen communication, develop effective problem-solving skills, and build healthier relationships. I provide a safe, supportive environment where families can work through challenges, restore trust, and create lasting positive change. When desired, Christian faith can be thoughtfully integrated to encourage forgiveness, unity, and hope while respecting each family's values and goals.

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.

Research shows trying to just “fix the kid” does not generally work. The family should be involved if at all possible. I made it a special point to learn the specific strategies and techniques for this population as I went through my schooling. To this day I have approx. one decade of experience in working with this population, and I look forward to continuing to work with children of all ages, particularly with family involvement.
