Family therapy services in 77327: Cleveland, TX. Relationship and couples counseling.

Family Therapy is often sought when the family dynamic has reached some level of dysfunction, & family members report feeling "stuck" in their ways & unsure how to move forward in a positive direction. By the time a family typically decides to seek counseling, the interpersonal relationships among family members have become so habitually toxic that expecting a family to find solutions to their troubles on their own is a fairly futile venture. Each family member is usually responsible for some level of the dysfunction, & this is what makes these issues "family issues." Using a family systems approach, you will (re)learn how to operate as a more cohesive & emotionally connected family unit.

Each family structure is unique. Members have their roles and operation within the family. The interaction of each family member produces a benefit or fulfills a need in the family. As a family therapist, my part is to help your family find solutions to issues, utilize strengths, improve communication and develop healthy functioning. Take action today.

Home is where the heart is. Well worn sayings get that way because they are true! Not surprisingly, hope, connectivity, safety, attunement, learning, sorrow, pain and alienation live together in varying degrees in our lives...and families. Checking in to see how we thrive or fail can be a compelling and challenging ride. Good therapy provides clarity, compassion and well-proven technique that enlivens and cements our quest for connection and a sense of comfort and growth. You'll find all of the above here. I look forward to hearing from you - as we walk together toward that special place!

Working with families is some of the most rewarding work that can be done. A lot of the time we think that if that one person would fix themselves, then everything would be just fine. That usually isn't the case. Teaching families how to communicate effectively is an invaluable tool. If you are looking to restore or just improve your current family situation, please call me.

From the time we are born we take cues as to how to think act and feel from our family. As we grow older we become aware of our own separate thoughts and feelings. In some families, independent thinking is encouraged with healthy boundaries that allow for self-expression. In other families, children are taught, to take their cues as to what thoughts and feelings others think they should have. Human beings, struggle for balance, attempting to belong to the group without losing self in the process. We can love our families and honor that unique bond, while still learning to stand as an individual with a strong sense of self. It is with this dynamic in mind that I try to work with families.
