Family therapy services in 49286: Tecumseh, MI. Relationship and couples counseling.

We are all travelers on a journey called Life. Sometimes we stumble or feel lost when we encounter obstacles and crossroads along the way. Each person has the opportunity to seek a path toward happiness, but many of us carry baggage that becomes excessively burdensome. Baggage can manifest in many guises including: hand-me-down core beliefs, destructive lifestyle patterns, poor communication, dysfunctional relationships, unhealthy habits and coping strategies.

Counseling for relationships available to explore expectations and needs in the following areas; conflict resolution, core values, personal needs, hot buttons, past hurts/trauma, financial decisions, previous children, family events/holidays/celebrations, career moves, family planning, parenting, family, in laws, romance/intimacy, social interactions, religion, household chores and any other topics you choose. Relationship counseling to improve your relationships by gaining insight into your partners and your own behaviors.

We work to nurture change and development of effective interaction between family members, as family relationships are a significant factor in psychological health. Our therapists believe that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions is often beneficial through direct participation in the therapy session. The family may be immediately related, or may include strongly supportive, long-term relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage.

Experiencing a change in the family? Struggling to find common ground? Every family experiences conflict in one form or another. All families go through changes in the family dynamic. The family is a system with everyone playing a vital role to keeping the system functioning effectively. Divorce. New baby. Blending two families. Every change can create conflict or confusion on how to communicate amongst the chaos. We will discuss how your family unit can communicate effectively to function as a cohesive system.

In family therapy, I often see families either together, or individually to begin our work. Understanding of family of origin often gives us a new perspective on our own family. I work with blended families as well to help navigate the issues many families deal with on a regular basis. Together we will work to enhance and understand your family so that there are clearer boundaries and empowerment of each member.

Family counseling, or family therapy, aims to address psychological, behavioral, and emotional issues that cause family problems. Family members will work with a therapist or counselor to develop and maintain a healthy family dynamic. We will develop a treatment plan specific for your family, helping everyone to feel emotionally safe, while boundaries are respected, and that everyone understands their role in the family unit.
