Family Counselling Services in Campbellford, ON.

At Turning Point Counselling we have a therapist that works with teens, children and parents or caregivers to deal with issues effecting the whole family. Common problems we see are: blending families, behavioural issues, tech/phone/gaming problems, problems at school, ADHD and rising rates of anxiety among kids and teens. Using a collaborative approach we create a space where everyone can feel seen and heard and problems resolved.

Family counselling takes many forms. I may see the whole family, or I may see parents alone as a part of therapy as well as seeing their child alone, but ultimately working towards healthier families. Every family is different and is offered what they need to help them work on their particular issues, build stronger communication, and connect more deeply.

Family dynamics are complicated. Each family has established patterns, such as how everyone communicates within the family system, how they deal with stressful situations and conflict, their roles in the family unit and how members seek support from one another. While I do not offer family therapy sessions, my clinic, Psychotherapy Collective has many child and family therapists availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

Each family has its own unique personality that impacts the functioning of its members. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and the approach I take will be catered to your family dynamics and the special challenges that brought you here today. When working with the family, I help improve their ability communicate openly to challenging issues and work through ups and downs in their relationships.

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.

Families can be created in a multiplicity of ways: we can be born into them; brought into them through adoption or other means; and sometimes their members consist of people who have a deep affinity for each other. In any form they take, "family" is synonymous with "in relationship," and these relationships must be nourished. In family counselling, I support families in building new communication pathways in order to process past injuries and strengthen connection. I specialize in pre-natal and postpartum family counselling.

We all feel the impact of a ever changing life. Nothing seems constant. Our values and perceptions often feel challenged. Compound this into a couple multiply it by children and blend it into a family. Are there any surprises that we struggle and face conflict in our own interpersonal and parenting relationships? I want you to know that I am here to offer support through divorce, separation, blending families, co-parenting, and your children’s behaviour issues. I am hoping that you will reach out and contact me. I offer an initial free consultation in which we can discuss how psychotherapy can benefit you and your family.

Family therapy is aimed at addressing and improving the dynamics within a family unit. By involving all members in the therapeutic process, family therapy aims to uncover and resolve issues that affect the family's overall functioning and relationships. My goal is to work collaboratively with the family to discover the family dynamics and systems that exist and to facilitate improved communication and connection between its members. Ideally, family therapy aims to help members support each other’s emotional needs in the here and now, ultimately promoting a healthier and more cohesive family environment.

Many issues later in life can stem from stress and challenges that influence several family members. When parents face change or difficulty, children will inevitably feel the pressure as well, they need to understand what is going on in terms they can understand. Parents also need support, but in a different way than the children. Families often seek out Counselling to help support each member of the family, someone who can be supportive but neutral so as to diffuse strong emotions and encourage family members to deal with stress in a healthy way in order to build resilience. This is my approach to Family Therapy and I look forward to helping you and your family build resilience.
