Family therapy services in 29720: Lancaster, SC. Relationship and couples counseling.

I work with married, pre-married, and RE-married couples and families. Especially if this is not your first marriage, pre-marital counseling can improve your chances for martial success significantly and help navigate the myriad of challenges that can face you. For all couples, I help couple's find ways to enrich their marriages by improving communication and finding new and better ways to handle conflict in their lives. I am a PREPARE/ENRICH Seminar facilitator and director and offer packages and workshops.

I routinely work with families in my practice. There are any number of reasons that families seek counseling. Quite frequently, the reasons revolve around children and parenting. Sometimes there are issues between child or adult siblings. Unresolved conflicts from childhood. Arguments ensue over the family business. Caring for a special needs child, or an aging parent. At other times, family members have experienced a loss in the family or there are struggles with blending families in second marriages. These struggles also bring with them opportunities to create openings that may not have existed before. Counseling can be very useful in healing old wounds and settling disputes.

Why can't we just all get along? Well, sometimes we do our best based on what we know and there are things in the way that cause conflict, create negative relational patterns, or even events that change the dynamics of how we relate. It can be a simple communication solution, learning coping skills, or there may be emotional or relational patterns that need shifted. I can provide very practical tools for all of that as well as an emotion-focused and attachment-based approach for developing secure and strong family bonds.

I specialize in counseling male, school age teenagers and their families in dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, parenting, and relationship issues in Charlotte North Carolina. I am passionate about helping teens and youth find healing psychologically, spiritually and in their relationships with their parents and peers. I offer an empathetic approach that supports both parents and their teens in whatever trial that they face. My aim is to help teens realize their potential by utilizing their strengths, resiliencies and interest. My approach is non-threatening and accepting but also supportive of parents and their role in raising their teen.

Most families are simply not like the Brady Bunch. There are different personalities all trying to get along and sometimes that is easier than it looks. Beyond just the difficulties that can arise from unique people trying to co-exist can be problems such as substance abuse and divorce. Family therapy can be quite successful in bringing the members of a family back in harmony. Call me today to get your family started.

Family therapy sessions encourage communication and implement ways to improve relationships. A counselor will ask important questions and guide your family to recognizing the source of conflict. Family counseling is highly beneficial because it structures a time for members in a family to talk about their struggles and explain their emotions and actions. We would love to help you and the members of your family better understand and respect one another.
