Family therapy services in 32114: Daytona Beach, FL. Relationship and couples counseling.

In my years of practice I have been trained in Functional Family Therapy and have worked with many families suffering from conflict within their environment. I now use this training with my own therapy practice to establish healthy communication skills and coping skills between the family and create a strong foundation. I will gain a better understanding of the dynamics in the household and will work with each member to resolve issues. Each individual will benefit by achieving personal growth and utilizing this in their daily interactions.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am specially trained in working with families. Family therapy provides some of the most notable breakthrough in a therapy setting. You do not function in a vacuum. Your behaviors, reactions, and interactions with each other have a chain reaction that affect the climate of your family. Family therapy provides an exciting opportunity to become aware of these interactions, and know each other more intimately. Frequently, this provides breakthrough and change. I will help you to utilize strengths previously ignored.

Families are complex systems! When your children are young or teenagers, counseling can help parents to navigate the different stages that children encounter. Family patterns of addictions, abuse, or codependency that have been passed through generations tend to generate chaos in families and at some point need to be addressed and shifted. Counseling can be very helpful in identifying these patterns, healing the wounds they have caused, and putting new ways of being into place. Family counseling can also be helpful for adult children to open dialogue with their parents, siblings, or in-laws. I serve many roles with families: mediator, navigator, translator, and supporter.

Although individual counseling is important in your healing process, adding family counseling in addition with individual sessions helps to provide a holistic approach to your therapy. Family counseling can range from support from one's family in an individuals healing or working together as a family to strengthen the bond of the family system. It is important each member feels worthy within the family and has a voice. Family counseling can help you and your family interact and communicate more effectively.

A family is a system just like a car's engine - if one part of the machine is not functioning effectively then the whole machine fails to operate properly. Family therapy is designed to discover the relationships in the family that are not working well and to restructure them or to help them communicate better so that they may be better functioning and to help the family as a whole operate in a happy, healthy, loving way.
