Families are important. Family relationships almost always play an important role in an individual's ability to develop a strong self-esteem and engage in healthy relationships. So, family counseling is often a powerful tool for mending or restoring relationships to good health.

Family therapy can be a wonderful way to increase awareness of ineffective interactional styles and identify more respectful and compassionate approaches.

The dynamics of a family are unique and complicated. It is important that in all sessions each member is heard. Family systems therapy regardless of the problem whether "individual" or a "family issue," involving the family in solutions often benefits clients.

Family is where we live, love and hurt. Most of us live with the misconception that because most people do the family thing – we should know how to do it. We don’t. Family is one of the hardest things that we can do. It seems like it is supposed to be easy. When you get in the middle of it, it just isn’t. Asking for help can often get families back to where they either use to be or get them to the place that they all crave to be. Family will never be easy but it can be rewarding.

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 counseling brings together members of a family to work through situational or relationship issues. Some common topics include changes in family relationships, conflict, health issues, addiction, trauma, divorce/separation, communication, and life changes/transitions. A therapist will help the family recognize their patterns, build on strengths and develop alternatives, providing all family members a voice in the process.

Families are a system with their own culture, beliefs, and ways of being. Every family member contributes to this culture. Not much progress can be accomplished without recognizing how the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions of each individual influences the entire structure.

Members attending sessions vary. so, I use a variety of techniques including but not limited to art, writing, role-playing, and games. Fair warning, family therapy includes listening to your other family members, compromising, and active effort in trying new techniques or activities at home.

It is important to hear everyone's side in a family session. Ensuring each individual feels comfortable enough to speak up is important. Allowing the family to express themselves in a safe environment with the help of a therapist could help the family at home. I have experience working with a number of different family systems. I incorporate both verbal and non-verbal therapy techniques into these sessions to see improvement in family dynamics.

When working with a through the family therapy process, it is important to make sure each individual has a voice is able to communicate and express their experiences. Family therapy requires structure and understanding of different dynamics. My goal is to understand patterns that may be new and in response to stress or intergenerational. From there we will explore methods to communicate boundaries, expectations, and internal worlds to bring the family to a new understanding and more effective conversations.
