Family therapy services in 43617: Toledo, OH. Relationship and couples counseling.

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.

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.

We work to nurture change and development of effective interaction between family members, as family relationships are a significant factor in psychological health. Our therapists believe that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions is often beneficial through direct participation in the therapy session. The family may be immediately related, or may include strongly supportive, long-term relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage.
