Family therapy services in 33523: Dade City, FL. Relationship and couples counseling.

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.

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.

In a healthy family, there are clearly defined roles, rules and boundaries. Participating in family therapy can help families reflect on how they've been negotiating the roles, rules, and boundaries in their family and determine if restructuring is needed for positive change and healing. In a safe, comfortable, confidential therapeutic setting, I am prepared to help with this process. In family counseling, I've helped families deal with a variety of challenges including blending a family, coping with major loss and change, first time parents, financial difficulties, overcoming abuse, and more.

Family therapy can benefit all members of the family to learn how to effectively communicate and to help parents with effective parenting tools to help with difficult behaviors. Co-parenting and blended families are especially vulnerable to problems with communication and healthy relationship building. I use Family Systems therapy to help families with these struggles.

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.

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.
