Families
Family related issues are the focus of my doctorate level education and covers issues like divorce, domestic violence, mistrust, blended family adjustment, co-parenting, communication issues amongst family members, along with a number of other family related concerns.
How Counseling Can Help Families
In learning to communicate effectively
Start building respectful relationships
In gaining an understanding about the difference between supporting and smothering
In learning to balance the “me,” the “them,” and the “us” in your household
Family relationships are defined by change. As children grow and change, so must the parenting and the partnering. Family counseling can help you to navigate through all the changes!
Family counseling can be helpful when one family member is dealing with a difficult personal issue. Tension can build in all relationships with disagreements over how to deal with a situation. Counseling for the family can re-establish respect, boundaries, and a common support structure to allow all family members to develop healthy relationships.
