Family Counseling Services in Avon, IN.

Sometimes, the best way to approach a systemic issue is to gather all the players together. Family therapy can affect major changes on an entire family system, and can be the best, evidence-based practice for certain issues such as bi-polar and addictions. Blending families after divorces can be a major challenge. In these situations, family therapy may be the best choice for working through family roles, expectations, and new dynamics. Let's work together to heal your family.

As human beings, we have a natural need and desire to be connected to others. We also have an equally strong need to be an autonomous self. Learning to balance these seemingly oppositional forces can be quite a task, especially when you consider that the primary place we attempt to learn these skills is within the context of our family unit. If your family is experiencing some type of relational upheaval there is a good chance that the system has lost its balance and would benefit from a relational realignment. If your family system is feeling a little out of sorts, please give us a call. At Chrysalis Connections we specialize in helping families rebalance, reconnect and heal.

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.

Family Therapy is effective in providing greater insight, growth of individual family members, improved communication, and changes in behavior patterns. It also addresses specific issues, including marital and financial problems, conflict between parents and children, and the effects of individual issues (e.g., substance abuse or depression) on the entire family. A Family Therapist examines a family's ability to solve problems and express thoughts and emotions by exploring family roles, rules and behavior patterns to identify issues that contribute to conflict. Family therapy ultimately helps identify a family's strengths to promote an overall healthier home environment.
