Family Counseling


Family dynamics can be complicated and difficult to navigate.

There are many life events that can cause a family to fragment or to disconnect. To name a few of these: the aftermath of an Affair or Divorce; Blended family challenges after a parent remarries again; Relational Issues or Mediation; Parenting Strategies; Sibling Rivalry Issues; or Adult-child Estrangement.

As a relationship expert, I can help you navigate these unique family dynamics and build new, stronger connections.

Why Is Family & Couples Counseling Important?

The family is the first and primary place of development, learning, and attachment for individuals as they enter the world. Family therapy and couples counseling are important to help both the family unit and individual members within it.

Family and couples counseling can help with:

  • Communication problems

  • Stressful life events such as divorce, job loss, career transition, moves, loss of a family member

  • Mental health issues including substance abuse

  • Traumatic events such as high-jacking, school shootings, terrorism

  • Psychoeducation for parents, couples, and children

  • Academic and behavior problems

  • Setting goals, making future plans, and solving problems

Families and couples who seek counseling can improve communication, decrease the likelihood of divorce, and strengthen child–parent bonds in as few as eight sessions (Beels, 2002).

Counseling can address major issues within relationships and help individuals within a family system by working with multiple members at once. Creating strong relationships and families is important not only for the specific clients involved, but also for the community and society at large.
