Family Counselling Services in Bentley, AB.

Keystone Child and Family Therapy provides a systems approach to counseling, which includes marital and family therapy. Each family is unique in their strengths as well as their needs and Keystone aims to highlight these in the road to wellbeing. This type of therapy focuses on the interaction between family members to increase healthy attachment and positive relationships. Family therapy is offered in combination with play therapy for children to help strengthen parent-child relationships as well as support a child through their own counseling process.

Imagine a family as a tree with branches, roots, trunk representing parts of the immediate and extended family. When working with families, all elements are considered. Usually there is a request for family therapy due to one of it's members in crisis, often a child. However, when an analysis of need is done it becomes apparent that more than one member of the family needs help in adjusting, growing and learning new behaviours. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons: to improve communications, solve family problems, support in special situations such as death, divorce, marriage, illness, child or adolescent issues.

Healthy communication and regulation skills foster positive and healthy family relationships. In session, we can explore and build on a family's communication skills, ability to navigate conflict or family crisis, and improve family coping styles. Together, we can build positive practices to provide a safe and supportive environment for you and your family.

We live in a society that believes we are just isolated and independent individuals but we are persons interconnected to our families, communities, and culture. The problems we struggle with exist within these contexts and it is critical to explore the influence of these contexts and their relationships with the problems. In Family Therapy we will explore together the various systems and interactional patterns that continue the problems experienced. Call today to book an appointment.
