Family Counseling Services in Houston, PA.

Families are the cornerstone of society. As such, your family is vitally important to you; it will be to me, too. While families can be a great source of joy, they can also be frustrating, even maddening at times! While there's no such thing as "the perfect family," we can start by trying to understand your family's particular dynamic. If we work together, we'll talk about effective communication, respect, and boundaries, and we'll laugh while we do it, because chances are your kids don't want to be there anyway. Family therapy can be tough enough without it be boring, too. Let's get together and see what we can do to make things better for 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 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.

We are all relational beings, living within interactive, emotional systems. How we relate to our most significant others (spouse, children, siblings, etc.) can sometimes lapse into unpleasant scripts and powerful undercurrents of action-reaction, negative group-think, and ineffective authority roles. Restoring a sense of effective functioning, wellness and harmony (shalom) within family relationships can be aided by learning and practicing new ways to empathize, communicate, and collaborate with each other. Under certain conditions, families can even benefit from video sessions or teletherapy (if more convenient and less stressful than gathering everyone at a therapist's office!)
