Family Counseling Services in Eustis, FL.

Although individual counseling is important in your healing process, adding family counseling in addition with individual sessions helps to provide a holistic approach to your therapy. Family counseling can range from support from one's family in an individuals healing or working together as a family to strengthen the bond of the family system. It is important each member feels worthy within the family and has a voice. Family counseling can help you and your family interact and communicate more effectively.

As a family therapist, I view most experiences through the lens of the systems we live our lives in. Healthy relationships are at the heart of a joyful life and living life to the fullest. When we all work together with your family, we will embrace, explore and celebrate the unique qualities that makes your family a place that can become a safe have for all. Raising a family can brings abundant gifts and challenges. In our time together, we'll use EMDR, Family Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to cut through the conflict and challenges. I look forward to helping your family find its stride again.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am specially trained in working with families. Family therapy provides some of the most notable breakthrough in a therapy setting. You do not function in a vacuum. Your behaviors, reactions, and interactions with each other have a chain reaction that affect the climate of your family. Family therapy provides an exciting opportunity to become aware of these interactions, and know each other more intimately. Frequently, this provides breakthrough and change. I will help you to utilize strengths previously ignored.

Do you feel disconnected from your wife or kids? Does it feel like you’ve lost control of your home? Or have you experienced something difficult within your family that’s not been resolved? If so, I can help. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I’m an expert in relationships, and have been trained to identify the patterns within families that aren’t working, develop healthier ones, improve communication and understanding, and help families forge a new path forward. This often looks like a combination of family sessions, parent sessions, and individual sessions. I provide online therapy over HIPAA-secure video, and if given the opportunity, would be honored to serve your family.

Everyone has a role in a family - whether it was a chosen role or assigned to you by your parents. Discovering your role, and whether you want to continue in the role is truly up to you. I can help with setting boundaries, and with those "walking on eggshells" relationships. Family relationships can be entrenched and hard to navigate. I can help untangle, understand and heal these relationships.

Families are complicated, and behaviors that work within one family may be dysfunctional in others. Often times we find that life with our family is not what we hoped it to be. Kids and all of the responsibilities that come with them, in-laws who overstep their boundaries, and being on the same page while parenting or coparenting can all be challenging on their own. Try putting it all together and families can start to break down and seem dysfunctional. Through family counseling, we can look at your family as a whole and see where the breakdowns and stress are occurring. After that, we work to restore balance so that you can communicate effectively and peacefully.

My approach to family therapy is simple and effective. It is what I jokingly refer to as “English to English translation”. I can teach you how to talk to your teen(s) in a way that will be heard and understood. I can show your children the benefits of talking & listening to you. Once we have improved overall communication in the home problems that do come up will be resolved much faster and with noticeably less stress. You can transform your family from a source of frustration to a source of joy. Parenting & raising a family can be tough, but when done well can also be rewarding. And yes, I have more than just book knowledge on this subject. I have been married since 2007, & have 3 children.

As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, we provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for helping our clients to take steps toward their goals. Family therapy can be done with one or more people in the session. We can work with you individually to explore and gain insight into your family relationships, and we can also invite family members to join and be part of the process.

Families are complicated. Sometimes those we love are the hardest to be around, often because of old hurts, personality differences, and poor communication. If you’re struggling with issues around family, I can help coach you through the challenges, teach you new strategies, and help you gain new insights. Whether you’re needing the accountability to set boundaries with difficult family members, or looking for new skills to heal relationships that are strained, I’m here to help. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

I have considerable experience in family therapy with families dealing with divorce or instability in home life, physical or mental abuse issues, addiction and its impacts, physical or mental illnesses in the family, and school performance, attendance, or discipline issues.
