Family therapy services in 27106: Winston Salem, NC. Relationship and couples counseling.

The family is the foundation of our society. It is so easy, however, for the family unit to lose focus and fall into a myriad of problems. Sometimes the need is to involve the whole family in counseling to understand the unique dynamics that each member brings. Today there also has to be strong focus on blended families since it is quite prevalent in our society.

Today's families are complex and range from an intact family unit to blended families of multiple origins. I use Structural Family Therapy to help the family align themselves for success. I work with the parents to help them be in charge of their children and help them put their children in an appropriate role. Blended families have particular challenges that they face and I help the parents help their children through acceptance and transition of the new family structure.

Families provide a unique complexity of dynamics and relationships. Different personalities, families of origin and opinions/perspectives often lead to conflict among two or more members within the family. While there may be one "identified client", it is important to work together as a system to make changes and grow. I work with families on communication skills, conflict resolution and becoming more aware of how their behaviors effect others around them.
