Family therapy services in 77531: Clute, TX. Relationship and couples counseling.

Every family has its own, unique culture; the way they do things. The culture created in a family tends to be a blend of your, mine, and our way of doing things. Our family of origin, ethnicity, faith tradition, education, past and current friends and relationships, past and current jobs, etc. all combine and blend to create our “stuff” we bring into our present. When our “stuff” blocks a family culture that mutually fosters emotional and physical safety, relationships break down and problems arise. My approach creates insight to the “stuff” that we need to keep and need to throw out; allowing for space to rebuild a family culture of respect, trust, connection, fun, and love.

I am a trained and licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been practicing from this perspective for 16 years. Working with families of any size in the room allows for change in a different way than individual counseling does. As all parties work develop and work toward a common goal, the process of therapy provides possibility for greater change. Family therapy allows for learning different ways of communicating to others as well as hearing and being heard differently. "Practicing" new communication tools in the therapy room strengthens the end result in the home and at work. Not only do you learn about yourself on a deeper level, you learn about your other family members as well

My approach to family therapy includes looking at every member's contributions to the success or failures that are being presented in session. We would explore family structure and family dynamics. It is very important to understand the "complete" family to understand them as a "whole" unit. Dysfunctional patterns of communication would be a priority.
