Family therapy services in 78606: Blanco, TX. Relationship and couples counseling.

Families are complicated systems that start with birth and continue throughout life, regardless of age. Finding new ways to relate to family members that reduce or eliminate turmoil and lead to more satisfaction for everyone involved is the aim of family therapy. From parenting dilemmas with children within the home, blended families, co-parenting through divorce, or adults having difficulty with parents later in life, there is a way to calm the troubled waters and emerge refreshed with clear solutions in hand.

Family therapy is very important in terms of appreciating those with whom we share life, forgiving, communicating assertively and compassionately, setting appropriate boundaries, resolving conflicts, creating positive patterns and life experiences, and removing obstacles to growth and development. Through systemic family therapy, we understand generational patterns, inherited characteristics and tendencies, what symptoms may have gained for us in the past, and what we can do to have satisfying lives without dysfunctional symptoms. New healthy coping mechanisms help all family members to create positive patterns for life and satisfying relationships in the present and future.

I like to help people get a long better. Relationships are vitally important to our existence as human beings and they are highly valued by our Creator God. Learning how to love one another - especially those within our own family - is paramount. My desire is to restore proper boundaries, help mediate conflict, and to empower parents and children.

Working with teens and families is one of my favorite aspects of my practice. Learning about each individual family's culture--the unspoken rules, the traditional ways of communicating and setting boundaries, is the first step to bringing about the changes that many families long for: increased intimacy, improved communication, safety, trust, belonging. We also provide programming for families with an addicted member. Learning ways to deepen insight, improve communication, set strong flexible boundaries and enjoy leaning into a morning or afternoon of self care proves for an empowering opportunity for growth and healing.
