Family therapy services in 77554: Galveston, TX. Relationship and couples counseling.

My approach to family therapy includes looking at every member's contributions to the success or failures that are being presented in session. We would explore family structure and family dynamics. It is very important to understand the "complete" family to understand them as a "whole" unit. Dysfunctional patterns of communication would be a priority.

I am both honored and grateful to have graduated from an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) accredited program. This implies that AAMFT has reviewed and approved all of the standards put in place for a student's education and training in family therapy. As a therapist, I integrate this training to understand what elements of structure, trust, security, and connection are currently jeopardized within the relationships in a family.

Every family has its own, unique culture; the way they do things. The culture created in a family tends to be a blend of your, mine, and our way of doing things. Our family of origin, ethnicity, faith tradition, education, past and current friends and relationships, past and current jobs, etc. all combine and blend to create our “stuff” we bring into our present. When our “stuff” blocks a family culture that mutually fosters emotional and physical safety, relationships break down and problems arise. My approach creates insight to the “stuff” that we need to keep and need to throw out; allowing for space to rebuild a family culture of respect, trust, connection, fun, and love.

Benefits of Online Family Therapy The traditional image of therapy might conjure up images of laying on a couch in a dimly lit room, spilling your deepest secrets to a complete stranger. But times have changed, and so has therapy. These days, you’re just as likely to find yourself participating in therapy from the comfort of your own home as you are in a brick-and-mortar office. Thanks to the wonders of technology, family therapy is now more accessible than ever before. Here are five reasons why you should give online family therapy a try.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.
