Sometimes, the best way to approach a systemic issue is to gather all the players together. Family therapy can affect major changes on an entire family system, and can be the best, evidence-based practice for certain issues such as bi-polar and addictions. Blending families after divorces can be a major challenge. In these situations, family therapy may be the best choice for working through family roles, expectations, and new dynamics. Let's work together to heal your family.

Family Therapy is effective in providing greater insight, growth of individual family members, improved communication, and changes in behavior patterns. It also addresses specific issues, including marital and financial problems, conflict between parents and children, and the effects of individual issues (e.g., substance abuse or depression) on the entire family. A Family Therapist examines a family's ability to solve problems and express thoughts and emotions by exploring family roles, rules and behavior patterns to identify issues that contribute to conflict. Family therapy ultimately helps identify a family's strengths to promote an overall healthier home environment.

I have worked with many families for a variety of reasons - communication, discipline, blended families, new siblings, life transitions, or when a member of a family may have special needs. I try to divide my time making sure every family member is heard and can have their individual needs met and also discussing as a family what is best for them as a whole.

I use a combination of solution focused and strategic family therapy to identify the wants and needs of the family and help members to work towards agreed upon common goals. This approach helps members to define their roles in the family as well as establish boundaries. Family therapy will help to improve communication and allow for healthy conflict resolution, growth, and harmony.

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.

Having had six children of our own I think we know a few things about the Family. Today's families are under attack and assualt. Both from without and within the Home. We can show you some simple principles to establish or re-establish that can bring the Home and the Family back into order. One such is just bringing back the God-given authority of Dad and Mom in the Home. Give us a call and we'll share more with you.

Family counseling is a safe place where families can address concerns of conflict, parenting issues, and sibling discord. Family Counseling facilitates exploring behaviors, feelings, miscommunication, and unhealthy boundaries. Family members learn how to take ownership in the family, be accountable, and negotiate. The goal is to work on solutions, build relationships and develop a strong sense of family.

Family therapy can help to address the root cause of the problem. Often, in order to attain lasting change, the entire family system (at least part of it) needs to work together with appropriate communication skills and boundaries in order for positive change to take place. I believe family therapy is quite helpful in addressing many problems. This also prevents one member of the family as being labeled as "the problem" and points out how everyone in the family plays their own part.

It has been said, "There is no greater value than family." While this is true, families come in all different shapes and sizes. Families can be relaxed and helpful, supportive even. Yet, most times, what I find, is that families can be a bit complicated for most of my clients. Members hurt one another and intentionally or not, there needs improved communication, forgiveness, and the process of healing.
