Family Counseling Services in Emerson, GA.

One individual alone can be extremely complex and difficult to understand. What happens when you have a number of complex people living together under one roof? Absolute chaos! Through family therapy, I help family members to understand each other better and even more importantly, to appreciate how each individual contributes to the family dynamic. Individuals evolve and change overtime and in turn, the family system experiences dramatic shifts as well. This can often be confusing! With the help of a family therapist, your family does not need to struggle alone. A patient and gentle objective listener can educate, guide, and assist you in overcoming

No safer place. No better time. Because family is not an organization but an organism, when one part is hurting or out of sorts, the entire organism is affected. It's easy to play the blame game, and attempt to segment off a family member's issue from the lives of the others. Like it or not, we are all connected, and all have a part in the health and solution of the problem or trouble. I can help you come together to use the collective resources of each family member to benefit the whole, and help with the healing. Family is perhaps the greatest shaper of our identity and values, and therefore is worth the investment and priority to keep it as healthy and vibrant as possible.

I am good with working with two people in the family. Mother /Daughter, Daughter/Father, Son/Father, Mother/Father. I help foster better communication between the two of you strengthening your relationship. I help you to create a common vision to work towards and a more harmonious relationship. Both people must want change in the relationship and put forth an effort.

I offer families with emotional and hormonal teenagers a place to come to find rest and peace. Raising teenagers can be very hard work but with your hard work and determination, no family is without hope. I've worked with teenagers for many years now and have a heart for the difficult and confusing time of life that they are in. They will find my office to be a place where they feel safe sharing what they are experiencing which can lead to more openness and change.

Family relations can sometimes become challenging to manoeuvre and can cause discord in family relations. Some topics can be very sensitive to address, can be highly triggering, reopen old wounds and bring back traumatic memories. This is why having the right support system in a controlled environment is very important. Part of healing and recovery requires honesty, vulnerability and transparency. I do a one on one sessions first with each party and then we come together in a group to help mediate with effective, clear, respectful, communication. If you are ready to help your family heal in a safe space, contact me today!

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.
