Family Counseling Services in McDonald, 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.

Family Therapy provides family members, whether its two members or the entire family, the opportunity to voice their feelings, emotions and concerns.

Based on your family’s current circumstances, a unique treatment plan will be created to fit your families specific needs. Commonly used therapies include the following: Structural Family Therapy (SFT) Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Bowen Family Therapy family therapy focuses on treatment of the family system not the symptomatic family member or problem.

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.
