Family therapy services in 47172: Sellersburg, IN. Relationship and couples counseling.

Our clinicians treat families from a "tntegrated family systems approach". This approach is based on the many systems or relationships of which we are all a part... couples, family, school, work, community, religion, and so on. Our relationships do not exist independently... they are all interconnected. Integrated family therapists agree that changes in one member of the family, cause changes in the other members, and eventually the entire family system. Integrated family systems therapists use techniques and strategies from various approaches to family therapy to achieving specific objectives, including reducing families' presenting problems and improving relationships.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I believe that family therapy can be extremely beneficial in resolving conflicts within a family system. I look at the entire family system and each person's role in the family. Then we work together to make changes and resolve issues. Family therapy creates an atmosphere where each member can feel safe expressing their feelings and concerns surrounding the presenting issue. There are many reasons a family may decide to start family therapy; such as major life transitions (marriage, divorce, relocation, death of a loved one), abuse, serious illness in family, trauma (car accident, fire, natural disaster), sibling conflict, and parent-child conflict.
