Family therapy services in 32169: New Smyrna Beach, FL. Relationship and couples counseling.

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.

I can help the whole family together or even separate to improve the relationships in the home and get people talking again. Healing what the mother in law said does come up often. Siblings still hurting each other. Parents estranged, they might be looking for you more then you think. With blended families we work on the relationship of the step parent to be accepted and respected.

Dr. Hobbie has a passion for families and for their challenges in today's culture. With a heart for each member of your family, he desires to hear each voice and highlight each ones gift. He considers how your family can encourage each other, working together as a unit. He wants to assist your family to learn to overcome barriers that cause distance and disharmony. Inviting Dr. Hobbie into the problems your family faces can lead to deeper understanding of each member and a greater sense of unity.

I have considerable experience in family therapy with families dealing with divorce or instability in home life, physical or mental abuse issues, addiction and its impacts, physical or mental illnesses in the family, and school performance, attendance, or discipline issues. I have worked with families to help create discipline strategies and coping mechanisms for children who are defiant or resistant to parental discipline.
