Family Counseling
Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for the worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.
Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- Divorce
- Blended family dynamic
- Parent-child conflict
- Problems between siblings
- Domestic violence
- Addiction within the family
- Adoption
- The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member
Family therapy is necessary to address family issues, give guidance through complicated changes and dynamics, create healthy resolve and communication and heal a family’s wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonate with your family, consider seeking family therapy with our practitioner, Emily Kerlin. Family therapy can be beneficial on many different levels.
Some positive family therapy outcomes are:
- Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries for blended families and complex family dynamics
- A fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
- Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
- Builds empathy and understanding.
- Reduces family conflict
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
