Family Conflict and Issues

Today’s world can be a scary place for families.

Social media… video games… cell phones…

All of these distractions can get in the way of true connections and teens learning the skills they need in life.

Poor grades… marijuana use… sneaking out…

Sometimes, parents don’t know what to do, especially when everything is spiraling out of control.

Depression… anxiety… self-harm…

It’s terrifying when kids are suffering and seem beyond our reach.

Family therapy can help!

In family therapy, all family members have a voice and a responsibility to be part of solutions.

In our first session, I’ll learn how each family member feels… and their perspectives on the good and the bad.

From there, I’ll give your family a task to complete. As you work together, I’ll observe your family’s dynamics, collaborating with you to identify common patterns either helping or getting in the way.

This information is vital to creating a personalized plan to help your family shift into healthier, happier relationships.

All you need to get started…

… is the desire to be better or different.

Being unhappy is a great motivator! When there is a lot of conflict in families, usually, no one is happy.

Using specialized knowledge and understanding of how families work, I carefully examine your family’s interactional patterns without you even realizing it.

Chances are, you’re SO accustomed to your family’s way of life, and these patterns are so deeply entrenched that it will be immediately apparent when you start operating in a healthier, more positive way. That makes the changes easier to maintain, too.

Huge change is possible in as little as 12 sessions!

Let me coach and guide you toward small shifts that will make a huge difference.

Here’s what we’re NOT doing…

Family therapy isn’t about having a mediator to hash things out or decide who’s right or wrong.

And it’s not just about learning better “communication techniques.”

A family therapist looks under the surface to see past the tip of the iceberg—the things that really matter and why you keep struggling. Even if your family isn’t arguing about the same things, you’re probably arguing in the same ways.

That’s why we’ll focus on the process of a conversation more than its content – so you, too, can see below the surface.

When you know what you do and why you do it…

The members of your family can actually connect. And when you connect, everything will change for everyone in the family.

That constant, ever-present tension will dissipate…

And the love, care, and concern that were always beneath the surface will actually be felt.

It’s time for your family to thrive! Let’s talk more about how family therapy can help during your free 15-minute consultation: (435) 248-2325.
