Family therapy services in 23150: Sandston, VA. Relationship and couples counseling.

Kimberly works with children/adolescents in the context of their family. Family is a system in which each member has a role to play and rules to respect. Members of the system are expected to respond to each other in a certain way according to their role, which is determined by relationship agreements. Within the boundaries of the system, patterns develop as certain family member's behavior is caused by and causes other family member's behaviors in predictable ways. Maintaining the same pattern of behaviors within a system may lead to balance in the family system, but also to dysfunction. Kimberly helps her patients improve the relationships within the family which are causing sickness.

Blended families, or stepfamilies, are more than not the norm in today's society. Nearly 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce. No one gets married with the anticipation of divorce. The reality, however, is that at least half of our children live with a biological parent and the parent's partner or step parent. Thriveworks Short Pump Family Therapists specialize in working with blended families. We understand the challenges associated with changing roles, visitation and differing parenting values and expectations. Allow a Thriveworks Short Pump Family Therapist to assist you in developing a sense of connectedness within your family and home.
