Family therapy services in 32811: Orlando, FL. Relationship and couples counseling.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I strongly believe that there is no one way to handle a problem. I work with my clients to highlight what works and use that knowledge to help improve what seems to not be working. I genuinely enjoy seeing the entire family in session since it provides rich information on how a family interacts and provides insight on the resources they have to tackle whatever problems come their way.

Emotionally healthy families create an emotionally healthy world. Most of us did not grow up in a family that taught us how to communicate in a way that promotes optimal emotional health. Family therapy is an opportunity for a safe space where communication can be taught and practiced and past hurts can be healed. Some of the most powerful healing I have experienced in my work as a therapist has been in family counseling when all parties come together with the goal of understanding one another in mind. The most emotionally healthy humans are those who feel they are important to their family of origin. A family that is willing to listen to understand instead of to be right creates this.

Given the wide variety of family issues I have encountered over the years, I have adopted an integrated therapeutic approach. Hence, clients will receive general psychoeducation in a number of areas including: values discovery, parenting, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, boundary setting, sibling rivalry, mutual respect and accountability to mention a view. As your "group therapy leader," session time will be effectively managed. Role-plays will be utilized extensively to allow for relative freedom of expression. In addition, homework assignments are a prominent and prevalent component to our intervention strategy. Finally, priority is given to confidentiality and trust.

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 dysregulated (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.

Jennifer encourages families to bring all family members to therapy sessions. It is helpful to meet all members and hear each person's input on what the problem(s) may be from their individual perspective. Even young children have thoughts on how the family can be better. Jennifer is open to seeing family members on an individual basis in order to facilitate the freedom to speak honestly about how they are feeling.

Everyone has a role in a family - whether it was a chosen role or assigned to you by your parents. Discovering your role, and whether you want to continue in the role is truly up to you. I can help with setting boundaries, and with those "walking on eggshells" relationships. Family relationships can be entrenched and hard to navigate. I can help untangle, understand and heal these relationships.

My approach to family therapy is simple and effective. It is what I jokingly refer to as “English to English translation”. I can teach you how to talk to your teen(s) in a way that will be heard and understood. I can show your children the benefits of talking & listening to you. Once we have improved overall communication in the home problems that do come up will be resolved much faster and with noticeably less stress. You can transform your family from a source of frustration to a source of joy. Parenting & raising a family can be tough, but when done well can also be rewarding. And yes, I have more than just book knowledge on this subject. I have been married since 2007, & have 3 children.

Families are complicated, and behaviors that work within one family may be dysfunctional in others. Often times we find that life with our family is not what we hoped it to be. Kids and all of the responsibilities that come with them, in-laws who overstep their boundaries, and being on the same page while parenting or coparenting can all be challenging on their own. Try putting it all together and families can start to break down and seem dysfunctional. Through family counseling, we can look at your family as a whole and see where the breakdowns and stress are occurring. After that, we work to restore balance so that you can communicate effectively and peacefully.

I have considerable experience in family therapy with families dealing with divorce or instability in home life, physical or mental abuse issues, addiction and its impacts, physical or mental illnesses in the family, and school performance, attendance, or discipline issues. I have worked with families to help create discipline strategies and coping mechanisms for children who are defiant or resistant to parental discipline.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am specially trained in working with families. Family therapy provides some of the most notable breakthrough in a therapy setting. You do not function in a vacuum. Your behaviors, reactions, and interactions with each other have a chain reaction that affect the climate of your family. Family therapy provides an exciting opportunity to become aware of these interactions, and know each other more intimately. Frequently, this provides breakthrough and change. I will help you to utilize strengths previously ignored.

Family therapy is an area that I am passionate about. I feel that most of our issues can find its root in our family of origin. Everyone wants to be heard, and everyone wants to be valued. However, no one is being heard or valued, because we are all speaking so loudly that we can only hear ourselves. Sometimes we need an outsiders perspective to help us each other. I greatly desire to help your family be as healthy as it can be.

Although individual counseling is important in your healing process, adding family counseling in addition with individual sessions helps to provide a holistic approach to your therapy. Family counseling can range from support from one's family in an individuals healing or working together as a family to strengthen the bond of the family system. It is important each member feels worthy within the family and has a voice. Family counseling can help you and your family interact and communicate more effectively.
