Family therapy services in 29902: Beaufort, SC. Relationship and couples counseling.

Families are fun. They can be the highlight of our life. Sometimes, however, they can generate a little heartache along the way. When that happens, a family therapy, relationship systems approach to working with the family can be exceptionally helpful to everyone. Family is more than a collection of individuals. There are relationship themes and patterns that repeat themselves in what we call the family system. These patterns come from how we actually go about relating to one another. Some patterns are positive. Some patterns are painful. In family therapy I often talk about "how we do family". It's very rewarding to look at this together.

I am a Clinical member of The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. When the family system seems distressed and in need of help, my approach can be useful. Relationships in families are complex and may require some guided reflection to draw attention to the issues facing the family. Power struggles and roles within the family should be examined and meaningful suggestions for improvement are shared with family members. Communication skills are taught to enhance understanding. Family is the basic unit of society. If needed, get help by calling today.

Whether you are having trouble with family relationships, troubled teens, addictions, or disabilities that are affecting the whole family system, counseling can help. The first few visits will help to determine which family members are best served. In family therapy, I see the whole family system and each person in the system as both being effected and having an impact in the whole family system. Even an absent member of the family may be having a tremendous impact. If you are wondering if family therapy can help, a therapist can help guide you through the many interwoven concerns.
