Family therapy services in 34608: Spring Hill, FL. Relationship and couples counseling.

Having problems with difficult family members or in-laws? Family dynamics can be challenge especially when you blend people with differing backgrounds or experiences. Even if you are brought up in the same household, the different roles family members play can create conflict. Learning new effective ways to communicate and cope can help change the patterns and cycles that create drama and/or the hurt.

Family therapy can benefit all members of the family to learn how to effectively communicate and to help parents with effective parenting tools to help with difficult behaviors. Co-parenting and blended families are especially vulnerable to problems with communication and healthy relationship building. I use Family Systems therapy to help families with these struggles.

When a family member is struggling with alcohol or drug addiction, the entire family is affected negatively. Communication barriers within families of addicts may cause the addict to withdraw into isolation, leaving their family members feeling frustrated, ashamed, lonely, fearful, depressed, hopeless and angry. The sources of addiction are mental, emotional and psychological in nature, and the addict, as well as their family, need to heal under the care of professionals. At Valiant Recovery, we offer counseling to the families of addicts to help them process the difficult emotions they have confronted, and to create a healthy, supportive environment for the addict to return home to.

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.

Family life can be both deeply enjoyable & extremely painful...differing opinions, single parenting, the stresses of finances, parenting issues, adolescent rough spots, working through the painful process and recovery in divorce, differing lifestyles, career challenges, workaholism, overwhelming commitments, drug abuse, boomeranging children in a down economy-have great impact on family life. Some walk on egg shells while others show explosive emotions-or both. Whatever the situation, my clients experience a safe environment where everyone is given respect for their point of view. Gaining skills & workable way that at minimum everyone can “live with” & potentially heal & thrive is my focus

Since much of my practice is focused on relationships, at times it is helpful to include members of the family in order to resolve ongoing challenges. I find it informative to observe the interpersonal dynamics between family members. Not only does this help bring to light many unconscious processes, but it may also highlight the nature of ongoing relationship issues.

We help you to identify specific family dynamics that compromise the quality of home life for parents and children. We encourage strong, loving, high functioning, spiritually grounded, family lifestyles. Without pointing the finger of blame, shame or chastisement, we identify the factors that may contribute to a break down in communication in the home. We identify and resolve such factors as triangulation, enmeshment, co-dependency, addiction, defiance, ineffective parenting practices, and other stress factors that challenge and compromise the well being of your family system.
