Family Counseling Services in Monessen, 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.

Family counseling can be helpful for resolving family disagreements and improving communication. Many families don’t communicate well. Poor communication can leave some family members feeling left out or isolated. Through counseling, a family can learn why they have so many disagreements and how they can resolve a disagreement without resorting to yelling. Families can run into problems when some members make assumptions or think there are unwritten rules that everyone in the family is aware of. When one members doesn’t follow these rules, other family members can get upset. In family counseling, we can discover if your family isn’t getting along because there is a communication problem.
