Family therapy services in 46041: Frankfort, IN. Relationship and couples counseling.

Family counseling is a safe place where families can address concerns of conflict, parenting issues, and sibling discord. Family Counseling facilitates exploring behaviors, feelings, miscommunication, and unhealthy boundaries. Family members learn how to take ownership in the family, be accountable, and negotiate. The goal is to work on solutions, build relationships and develop a strong sense of family.

It has been said, "There is no greater value than family." While this is true, families come in all different shapes and sizes. Families can be relaxed and helpful, supportive even. Yet, most times, what I find, is that families can be a bit complicated for most of my clients. Members hurt one another and intentionally or not, there needs improved communication, forgiveness, and the process of healing.

Family therapy can help to address the root cause of the problem. Often, in order to attain lasting change, the entire family system (at least part of it) needs to work together with appropriate communication skills and boundaries in order for positive change to take place. I believe family therapy is quite helpful in addressing many problems. This also prevents one member of the family as being labeled as "the problem" and points out how everyone in the family plays their own part.

We offer family therapy with a focus on strengthening bonds and individual resilience. Our therapists work with your family members to work together as a team and support one another. We encourage healing of the family system and focus on teaching validation and compassion. Our therapists are culturally competent and sensitive to your family's needs. We offer family therapy in office in the Duluth and Hinckley areas or online through E-Services.

Family Therapy is effective in providing greater insight, growth of individual family members, improved communication, and changes in behavior patterns. It also addresses specific issues, including marital and financial problems, conflict between parents and children, and the effects of individual issues (e.g., substance abuse or depression) on the entire family. A Family Therapist examines a family's ability to solve problems and express thoughts and emotions by exploring family roles, rules and behavior patterns to identify issues that contribute to conflict. Family therapy ultimately helps identify a family's strengths to promote an overall healthier home environment.

Sometimes, the best way to approach a systemic issue is to gather all the players together. Family therapy can affect major changes on an entire family system, and can be the best, evidence-based practice for certain issues such as bi-polar and addictions. Blending families after divorces can be a major challenge. In these situations, family therapy may be the best choice for working through family roles, expectations, and new dynamics. Let's work together to heal your family.

I have worked with many families for a variety of reasons - communication, discipline, blended families, new siblings, life transitions, or when a member of a family may have special needs. I try to divide my time making sure every family member is heard and can have their individual needs met and also discussing as a family what is best for them as a whole.

I use a combination of solution focused and strategic family therapy to identify the wants and needs of the family and help members to work towards agreed upon common goals. This approach helps members to define their roles in the family as well as establish boundaries. Family therapy will help to improve communication and allow for healthy conflict resolution, growth, and harmony.

As human beings, we have a natural need and desire to be connected to others. We also have an equally strong need to be an autonomous self. Learning to balance these seemingly oppositional forces can be quite a task, especially when you consider that the primary place we attempt to learn these skills is within the context of our family unit. If your family is experiencing some type of relational upheaval there is a good chance that the system has lost its balance and would benefit from a relational realignment. If your family system is feeling a little out of sorts, please give us a call. At Chrysalis Connections we specialize in helping families rebalance, reconnect and heal.
