Family Counselling Services in Avening, ON.

Family conflict is a common issue which most of us are faced with at one time or another. I've been able to help hundreds of folks work through various types of family conflict by teaching them how to develop the healthiest boundaries possible to ensure they honour their feelings and needs while establishing a healthier family dynamic whenever possible. Many strategies are offered such as marital therapy, parenting strategies, family communication, development of healthy boundaries. I also have much knowledge and experience working with individuals and families who struggle with living in a family where narcissism or a psychopathy is present.

Family dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and family therapy can help each member of the family unit find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Giving each family member the chance to feel heard and valued while also navigating external stressors like work and school can be a struggle, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change, while highlighting each member’s contributions, and celebrating the family’s successes.

i understand that family therapy can be a powerful tool for strengthening relationships and overcoming challenges. My approach to Family Therapy is focused on facilitating healthy communication, mutual respect, and deepening understanding between family members. I recognize that each family has unique dynamics, and I tailor my approach based on individual family's concerns, expectations, and goals. During therapy sessions, I actively work to create a safe and supportive space where family members can communicate openly and build understanding.

It is not uncommon in families for patterns to be set and sometimes these patterns are not healthy or helpful for family relationships, or individual mental health. We often learn to tolerate our family members’ behaviour and have difficulty speaking up or expressing how their behaviour impacts us. In my sessions with families, I encourage open, honest communication and ensure that each individual feels validated and gets equal time to be heard. Often difficult conversations can be more successful when there is a neutral person facilitating and promoting respectful, non-confrontational interaction.

When working with families I aim to focus on common ground and shared hopes and goals. This sets the stage for collaboratively working through conflicts so that common goals can be achieved. Focusing on positive family experiences and strengths of the family are also helpful in reconnecting family members. Understanding relationship patterns and encouraging new ways of communicating and interacting often allows families to practice different ways of being with and understanding one another and can often alleviate tension for more pleasurable family experiences.

Gestalt therapy is a systems‐oriented, immediate‐experience‐oriented, and affect‐oriented therapy that is highly effective for families. Unlike other therapies, gestalt regards the client system's emergent processes as the central focus, and it emphasizes that growth occurs as the family and its members are helped to greater self‐awareness and responsibility for their own functioning. Dynamic forces within your family may need some the maintenance. How can a sense of peace and equilibrium be brought back into your home? I am not afraid to work with intense emotional outbreaks. I can help support family unity with strength and care! Develop better ways of communicating with each other!

If your family is in conflict, we can help. Often times when a child is struggling with mental health issues or there is some change in the family unit such as separation/divorce or a big move, members in the family are under great stress which can disrupt the flow of the house. Family therapy can help everyone work through challenges and learn how to communicate better, ultimately bringing more satisfaction and enjoyment to the home.
