Family therapy services in 45368: South Charleston, OH. Relationship and couples counseling.

I have 5 years of experience in using family therapy with children, teenagers, and parents. I believe that tremendous growth and insight can take place in a family counseling session. I look to provide guidance, facilitation, education, and most importantly a safe place for you and your family to communicate with each other. Whatever goals your family may have, I will do everything in my ability to play a role in helping you reach that goal.

Each family has a history of the rules that govern interaction within a family. These rules may be known to at least some degree but may not be spoken about. Rules include what are the consequences that occur if those rules are broken. Rules are often passed down from one generation to the next and conflict can occur when two people come together in forming their own family. A conflict can also occur in a blended family because of remarriage or the formation of new family unit. Therapy involves understanding how those rules came about and then addressing how those rules work or do not work within the current family unit and making decisions about how to better interact together.

There is a time and a place for each person to work on himself/herself individually. However, we are rarely alone. Many of us live within a family system. As in all systems, there are strengths and there are challenges. We will use the strengths to create solutions to the issues. First by indentification, then by understanding. We will work with respect and compassion that is reflected in the communication and coping skills of the family.
