Family therapy services in 83858: Rathdrum, ID. Relationship and couples counseling.

The families on Hallmark cards often look quite different from the ones you see in the "family room" at your house. Family therapy attempts to reduce conflicts, increase healthy communication, build trust and intimacy, and make your primary relationships more like what you want. To improve your family's interactions, please call Dr. Ray at 509-466-6632.

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

We are all products of our family of origin. How we feel about family, marriage, faith, and life is developed in our family system. Sometimes we have tremendous strength from our families and sometimes it feels like the opposite. I help you look at your family and work through what serves you and what doesn't to live your life in a healty(ier) way
