Family Coaching and Counseling
We work with families who are struggling with various issues that may include blended family issues, healing after divorce or loss of a spouse/parent, healing after a violent episode in the family, communication, boundaries, balancing school, work, and play activities, education about special needs children, etc..
We approach our work with families in ways similar to our approach with individuals and couples, in that we look to underlying issues that may need to be brought to the surface in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Everyone is provided the opportunity to discuss their perspective of the “family issue” and is encouraged to look at their contribution to the “family issue.” We believe that often family problems arise because members of the family, who do not feel “seen” or “heard” in the family, behave in ways that may, at times, be extreme in order to be “noticed.”
We help families identify ways in which they can ensure that all members are appropriately acknowledged and respected, so that once therapy is over, these skills will help them to resolve future conflicts within the family without further wounding.
