FAMILY THERAPY
Are chaos and frustration the norm in your house?
Your teenage daughter rolls her eyes at you. Your step-son barely manages to do half the things you ask. Your live-in niece thinks strolling in at 2 am is normal… even though she’s only 16.
And your partner refuses to get involved.
You think…
“Other families seem happy. What’s wrong with ours?”
“This isn’t the future I had in mind.”
“Am I a terrible parent?”
How did my family get here?
Family dynamics change. What worked several years ago isn’t necessarily a solution today.
Just like individuals and couples, families go through transitions. Kids get older, distressing events occur…
A grandparent becomes ill, your 14-year old baby starts experimenting with drugs, puberty hits… or your family becomes blended.
And each person reacts differently to the chaos.
No matter how big or small the troubling event is… change can throw the family equilibrium off.
And it can cause us to lose sight of the positive things.
What can we do?
You’re looking for relief. Running away feels tempting… but not the answer.
Families often need to find a new way to deal with challenges. And to be reminded of the good things they each bring.
Seeking direction in a safe, structured environment… one that encourages everyone’s voice to be heard… can help.
Family therapy may be your solution.
This is where I come in.
A third party who listens to all sides, with no emotional attachment, is often the answer. I can identify behaviors and communication patterns that are adding to the conflict in your family.
And I can offer support and provide suggestions to help your family get relief.
Let me help your family discover a new normal…
One where you can deal with challenges in a positive way.
