Family Counseling Services in Marysville, WA.

No matter how you define your "home" or "family", it is often the place and the people you count on for some sense of stability. When family relationships are strained or broken, it can lead to mounting frustrations and daily conflict. There are times when meeting together with two or more family members is what is needed to establish a sense of shared understanding and a vision that will work for everyone. Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services specialize in helping both individuals and families get back on track with strategies that enhance satisfying and meaningful outcomes for the entire family.

Family therapy is really different from individual counseling. The family "as a whole" is my client and I work with a systems model. This means the how people interact becomes the focus. When we feel more love and connected we feel better. The opposite is really true. When our family is not doing well, we walk in and instantly don't want to be there. I am committed to helping families move to the next level of communication, support and trust. Families can make or break you. You can really grow when you have the love and support of a family. I create a safe environment for the family to begin to resolve conflicts that hold them back. Call today for an appointment. Erik 425-334-8916

Finding a therapist that you trust that also practices family therapy is difficult in today's therapy landscape. Although many therapists and coaches work with individuals and couples, few have the specialized training to also facilitate effective family therapy. I am trained and licensed with specialized training in family dynamics and family therapy. Once we have your family together, we will work to understand the dynamics and the emotions that drive them. As your therapist and guide, I will facilitate new solutions to conflicts and/or direct the family through complex changes, grief, or other emotional challenges and help you find your stability again.

Family Counseling, or Therapy, seeks to improve relationships and solve conflicts within the family structure by working with all involved. Compassionate, expert care leads to sustainable healing for families. Within the process, it is vital to hear all the voices and acknowledge the unique perspectives each member brings to the family culture. Making family the priority, clean communication, and ongoing support makes families strong!

As a therapist with a Masters in Family Studies, I have the training and experience to help your family create a positive shift that will allow each family member as well as the family as a whole to function better. As you work with me your family can learn how to create more closeness and improve communication and problem solving. Each person in your family provides a perspective that can be a resource to your family unit: I can help your family achieve a more respectful and understanding way of relating while working on your family problems. Family therapy with me is a wonderful opportunity for your family to experience a unique loving and respectful connection.

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.
