Family Counseling Services in Ecorse, MI.

Families respond very positively to an objective person who allows each participant to be heard. When we have more pieces of the puzzle all working together in my office, we begin to see the real shape of the problem, not just the picture the stronger members of the family project. Then we can work together on what is real and see everyone benefit from the counseling. I'd love to help 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 dysregulated (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.

Experiencing a change in the family? Struggling to find common ground? Every family experiences conflict in one form or another. All families go through changes in the family dynamic. The family is a system with everyone playing a vital role to keeping the system functioning effectively. Divorce. New baby. Blending two families. Every change can create conflict or confusion on how to communicate amongst the chaos. We will discuss how your family unit can communicate effectively to function as a cohesive system.

We work to nurture change and development of effective interaction between family members, as family relationships are a significant factor in psychological health. Our therapists believe that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions is often beneficial through direct participation in the therapy session. The family may be immediately related, or may include strongly supportive, long-term relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage.

Family is an important unit of human life. Family therapy can assist a troubled relationship, children, or other family members. In family therapy you can address specific issues such as financial or marital problems, conflict between family members, or the effects of mental illness or substance abuse on the entire family. Family therapy can be beneficial in any family situation that causes grief, stress, or conflict. Family therapy can assist you and your family members understand one another better, and ultimately bring you closer together.

Stress and conflict in families is common, despite the popular images of cohesive families, all living together in harmony. Whether one notices it or not, families operate as a system; each member has their roll and habitual way of interacting. My way of working with your family is to respectfully reveal and discuss these ways of interacting, while providing the tools for healthy ways of relating. A family can achieve a reasonable level of mutual respect and harmony.

We are all travelers on a journey called Life. Sometimes we stumble or feel lost when we encounter obstacles and crossroads along the way. Each person has the opportunity to seek a path toward happiness, but many of us carry baggage that becomes excessively burdensome. Baggage can manifest in many guises including: hand-me-down core beliefs, destructive lifestyle patterns, poor communication, dysfunctional relationships, unhealthy habits and coping strategies.
