Family Counseling Services in Mims, FL.

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. I have worked with families to help create discipline strategies and coping mechanisms for children who are defiant or resistant to parental discipline.

Given the wide variety of family issues I have encountered over the years, I have adopted an integrated therapeutic approach. Hence, clients will receive general psychoeducation in a number of areas including: values discovery, parenting, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, boundary setting, sibling rivalry, mutual respect and accountability to mention a view. As your "group therapy leader," session time will be effectively managed. Role-plays will be utilized extensively to allow for relative freedom of expression. In addition, homework assignments are a prominent and prevalent component to our intervention strategy. Finally, priority is given to confidentiality and trust.

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.

Dr. Hobbie has a passion for families and for their challenges in today's culture. With a heart for each member of your family, he desires to hear each voice and highlight each ones gift. He considers how your family can encourage each other, working together as a unit. He wants to assist your family to learn to overcome barriers that cause distance and disharmony. Inviting Dr. Hobbie into the problems your family faces can lead to deeper understanding of each member and a greater sense of unity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I strongly believe that there is no one way to handle a problem. I work with my clients to highlight what works and use that knowledge to help improve what seems to not be working. I genuinely enjoy seeing the entire family in session since it provides rich information on how a family interacts and provides insight on the resources they have to tackle whatever problems come their way.

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.
