Family Counseling Services in Medina, WA.

Working with the whole family is a very powerful and effective therapy method. When family dynamics feel tense and tangled caused by events such as a child running away from home, addition of a new family member, issues between parents, teenager growing pains, etc, my therapy can find practical and health skills to reestablish these relationships. Together we will work through communication issues, the needs and the unspoken expectations of family members. A strong and healthy family system can be facilitated through a trustful therapeutic relationship we build together.

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.

Family relationships form the beginnings of all other relationships in our life. Learn tools and understanding on improving communication and positive feelings in your home. Difficult relationships can be changed and family members that are stressed can find relief and new patterns of coping. Getting help for your family will pave the road for a healthier home life and the ability for each member to nurture their future relationships.

Families operate as a system, where what each person does affects the others and the family dynamics as a whole. My goal in Family Therapy is to help each person within the family to have a voice and to know their value and also reflect on how they impact the family as a whole. We often take certain roles in our family and operate under these roles out of habit. It is important to examine what role we have taken up and whether that fits with who we are and who we want to be. There is room for everyone to have autonomy in a family and still be a part of the system.

Conflicts between family members can be complex and emotionally charged. Professional treatment could be highly beneficial if recent life changes, parenting challenges, emotional disorders, or behavior problems are straining relationships within your family. Our therapists will work with families to find understanding and equilibrium. Whether your family has experienced divorce, is in the process of blending, or anything in between, we welcome all types of families.

Relationships are some of the most shaping aspects of a person's world. Family therapy considers improving people's relationships as the most way to improve their lives. Whether it is better communication with a partner, warmer interactions between a parent and child, confronting a caretaker about abuse or neglect, or finding forgiveness for hurting someone you love, family therapy uses a system's approach to shape your relationships into what you want them to be.

Family dynamics are complicated. When problems arise in families, it is often very difficult for those who are deeply, personally involved in the situation to be able to see or understand the underlying causes and solutions to these difficulties. Family therapy is a very beneficial way for you and your family to be able to address their concerns in a safe atmosphere. Having a professional who is trained and has experience in conflict resolution and increasing communication can be effective in helping your family move forward towards recovery and harmony in a way that is often simply not possible on your own. Please feel free to contact me to see if family therapy is right for your family.
