Family Counseling Services in Lula, GA.

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!

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.

Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, every individual will only be as successful as the weakest part of their life. In this way, the relationship health within the family plays a key role in the happiness and success of each individual. Family therapy benefits each individual by improving interactions and relationships for everyone. This can be especially useful when facing depression, substance abuse, divorce, grief, chronic illness and even food issues or everyday issues such as communication, conflict or behavioral problems. Some emotional pain is as much a part of the family as a whole as it is to the individual and thus is best addressed in family therapy.

Working with me, families learn better communication skills and new ways of interacting that interrupt negative cycles of behavior that they have fallen into. The goal is for each member of the family to feel heard and valued equally yet acknowledging the multiple unique roles each person plays (mother/wife/lover/employee, son/brother/student).

I counsel couples, children and their families through their life journeys. There are many transitions a family goes through in their journey: Pre-marital couple; newly married; a family with a newborn or children of various ages; a family divorcing or remarrying; single parenthood; mental illness; career changes; empty-nesters; retirees; adult caregivers of their parents; grieving the loss of a loved one. Whichever stage you and your family are in, I am equipped to guide you through these life transitions to make the adjustment to them smooth and healthy.

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.

Family therapy is a collaborative approach to healing and resolving conflicts within family systems. Its primary goal is to improve communication, foster healthy relationships, and strengthen the overall functioning of the family unit. Modalities such as structural, strategic, and narrative therapy are commonly employed to address various issues and promote positive change.

I have many parents that bring their child to me and in essence say "please fix my child". It usually involves the entire family working together to fix the problem that is showing, which is typically through the child. The child is really saying "please help me and my family" with their behavior. Family Systems Theory supports this belief and I have seen it work with people that are willing to make positive changes dozens and maybe even hundreds of times.
