Family therapy services in 48809: Belding, MI. Relationship and couples counseling.

Families tend to pass down problematic behaviors as well as positive behaviors, all of which eventually become family narratives. This process is not always clear and it can become difficult for parents to address the problem behaviors they see in their children while strengthening more positive behaviors. I can provide the tools for families to address these problems and strengthen the family as a whole. By weeding out the problem behaviors, we will be better able to nurture the positive, and create positive change within the family and its functioning. Alternatively I can help clients through separation, divorce, and family reunification depending on the need.

I practice family therapy from an attachment perspective. Understanding how a family works and how the attachments function is a critical part of moving from a hurtful family to a family that is close and supportive. It takes work. Sometimes difficult discussions result in turning points within a family that allows them to move forward, grow closer, and build on the family's strengths.

Families are the rock of our society. We need family time. We need to be able to express ourselves in away that communicates good will and kindness. It is my goal to bring back family fun and communication. I look at the individuals and how they play off each other. It is the basic belief that everyone is important and needed. Let the family love.

You already know that every family has issues, but you may not know that every family is highly sensitive to each member and any slight changes in the family system - whether they are aware of it or not. We will work with you and your family to gain an understanding of the nuances within your system. We will make sure that each member's perspective and experience is understood. We will help you all understand what is happening at the core. At the same time, we know you are probably coming to therapy because there are very important practical matters at hand. We will also help you navigate those matters with conviction while remaining sensitive to whatever is making things feel so delicate.
