Family Counseling Services in Port Richey, FL.

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.

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. 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.

As a husband and father of 7 I know firsthand the blessings and challenges of family life. I enjoy working with families to understand the patterns that aren’t working, and illuminate hopeful alternatives. Improved communication, empathy, forgiveness, boundaries, family roles, and trauma are assessed in putting the puzzle together to find healing.

In a healthy family, there are clearly defined roles, rules and boundaries. Participating in family therapy can help families reflect on how they've been negotiating the roles, rules, and boundaries in their family and determine if restructuring is needed for positive change and healing. In a safe, comfortable, confidential therapeutic setting, I am prepared to help with this process. In family counseling, I've helped families deal with a variety of challenges including blending a family, coping with major loss and change, first time parents, financial difficulties, overcoming abuse, and more.

Family dynamics can be complex, with each member bringing unique perspectives, emotions, and needs to the table. My approach to family counseling focuses on creating a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels heard and valued. I work collaboratively with families to identify patterns of communication, address underlying conflicts, and foster mutual understanding. By blending modern techniques with proven approaches, I help families rebuild trust, strengthen connections, and develop healthier, more supportive relationships that benefit everyone involved.

For me, family therapy can include any combination of individuals in your life required to resolve an issue of concern for you. I've worked with employees and business owners, parents and adult children, in-laws, blended families, neighbors, best friends, and numerous other combinations. My focus is on meeting with those who are important to you to create win/win outcomes.

My approach to the healing of the family is to work with each individual in the family system bringing healing from damaged emotions. When this is accomplished, the family is able to relate from an emotionally healthy perspective. I also do temperament analysis which enables me to understand and share the unique temperament of each family member. Creation Therapy (temperament analysis) gives you your unique creation genetically coded into you at the time of your conception. Your temperament determines how you perceive God, yourself and others. CT identifies your strengths and your weaknesses. CT identifies your needs and how to get them met. Do not wait.

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.
