Family therapy services in 48161: Monroe, MI. Relationship and couples counseling.

We are all travelers on a journey called Life. Sometimes we stumble or feel lost when we encounter obstacles and crossroads along the way. Each person has the opportunity to seek a path toward happiness, but many of us carry baggage that becomes excessively burdensome. Baggage can manifest in many guises including: hand-me-down core beliefs, destructive lifestyle patterns, poor communication, dysfunctional relationships, unhealthy habits and coping strategies.

Family is an important unit of human life. Family therapy can assist a troubled relationship, children, or other family members. In family therapy you can address specific issues such as financial or marital problems, conflict between family members, or the effects of mental illness or substance abuse on the entire family. Family therapy can be beneficial in any family situation that causes grief, stress, or conflict. Family therapy can assist you and your family members understand one another better, and ultimately bring you closer together.

Experiencing a change in the family? Struggling to find common ground? Every family experiences conflict in one form or another. All families go through changes in the family dynamic. The family is a system with everyone playing a vital role to keeping the system functioning effectively. Divorce. New baby. Blending two families. Every change can create conflict or confusion on how to communicate amongst the chaos. We will discuss how your family unit can communicate effectively to function as a cohesive system.

In family therapy, I often see families either together, or individually to begin our work. Understanding of family of origin often gives us a new perspective on our own family. I work with blended families as well to help navigate the issues many families deal with on a regular basis. Together we will work to enhance and understand your family so that there are clearer boundaries and empowerment of each member.

Family therapy provides a supportive space to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges together. Whether your family is facing conflict, life transitions, grief, or emotional struggles, therapy helps each member feel heard and valued. Through guided conversations and practical tools, families can rebuild trust, resolve tensions, and foster healthier dynamics. Healing family relationships is possible, and therapy offers the support needed to grow stronger, more connected, and more resilient as a family unit.

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 dysregulated (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.
