Family Counseling Services in East Rochester, NY.

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.

Families are important. Family relationships almost always play an important role in an individual's ability to develop a strong self-esteem and engage in healthy relationships. So, family counseling is often a powerful tool for mending or restoring relationships to good health. Over time, most of us learn to interact a certain way with certain family members and continue to treat them in a certain way without taking into account life changes or more effective options. Family therapy can be a wonderful way to increase awareness of ineffective interactional styles and identify more respectful and compassionate approaches.

Families can carry either unhealed wounds or trauma and/or may have unhealthy communication patterns. These issues can be significantly improved with family therapy. I create a safe space for all parties to share their feelings in a healthy way, without blame, focusing on their own personal experience. I then provide exercises and tools to help them gain understanding of one another and validate one another. This has often been markedly lacking and can be very healing to receive. We go back in time to understand how the current dynamic in the family developed and with that understanding, how it can be shifted into a healthier dynamic.
