Family Counseling Services in McCordsville, 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.

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.

I have worked with many families for a variety of reasons - communication, discipline, blended families, new siblings, life transitions, or when a member of a family may have special needs. I try to divide my time making sure every family member is heard and can have their individual needs met and also discussing as a family what is best for them as a whole.

I use a combination of solution focused and strategic family therapy to identify the wants and needs of the family and help members to work towards agreed upon common goals. This approach helps members to define their roles in the family as well as establish boundaries. Family therapy will help to improve communication and allow for healthy conflict resolution, growth, and harmony.

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.
