Family therapy services in 53070: Oostburg, WI. Relationship and couples counseling.

You are an individual, but also part of a family. Your family is a system that follows unique rules, patterns and traditions. Your family is made up of the family you came from, the family you have created (marriage, children, inlaws) and those who feel like family (close friends, work, church, clubs). I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who can help you and others in your "family" work out troubling issues.

As a family unit, working through conflicts and disagreements can be a challenge. Not everyone has the same perspective or viewpoint on a given scenario. Communication is key, but only if it is within a healthy environment where those involved are willing to listen to the other's perspective with an open mind. Sometimes a mediator is required to help guide the discussion in a more positive/respectful light.

Family Therapy is crucial in helping families improve their communication with one another. My goal for family therapy is to create a safe and respectful atmosphere for all members to feel heard. Active listening exercises and activities are strategically used to help better bridge family members together. My goal is for each family member to have a voice and participate in their therapy.

Family relationships and dynamics can be messy. Through therapy you will develop skills to better understand your family members and treat eachother with love and respect. Healthy communication skills will be developed and active listening will be practiced. Family members will gain a better understanding of eachother and interact with compassion and empathy.
