Family therapy services in 28115: Mooresville, NC. Relationship and couples counseling.

When it comes to family therapy, it is important that interaction between you and I are supportive in nature. I approach this in a non judgmental and acting manner. My approach is to understand the family dynamics and gain insight into what is best for the family. We identify the needs and wants to allow a strength based approach to healing. I believe that everyone is important and their voice must be heard and this is encouraged in family therapy.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have specialized training focused on improving family dynamics. I have worked with families struggling with major life transitions, parent-child conflict, addiction, complex grief in situations such as suicide, and several other challenges that today's families face. After family therapy, you can expect improved communication, less conflict, better boundaries, decreased grief symptoms, and a family system that is sustainable. Please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation call or send me an email to further discuss how I can support your goals.

My 40 years of experience allows me to deal with a large variety of family related issues: step family, living together, dating, marriage, family of origin, gay couples, seniors parent/child issues. I was trained in Family Therapy and wrote a book to help people deal with family related problems. As a family therapist, I look at the larger picture and see how it is impacting the person's current situation. From there I help the person custom design a solution that is unique to them and takes into account how others in their family system will react to the changes they are attempting.

Why can't we just all get along? Well, sometimes we do our best based on what we know and there are things in the way that cause conflict, create negative relational patterns, or even events that change the dynamics of how we relate. It can be a simple communication solution, learning coping skills, or there may be emotional or relational patterns that need shifted. I can provide very practical tools for all of that as well as an emotion-focused and attachment-based approach for developing secure and strong family bonds.

The family is the foundation of our society. It is so easy, however, for the family unit to lose focus and fall into a myriad of problems. Sometimes the need is to involve the whole family in counseling to understand the unique dynamics that each member brings. Today there also has to be strong focus on blended families since it is quite prevalent in our society.
