Couples & Family Therapy
We can disagree on important issues, make decisions that complicate our family values, and drift apart over time. Family therapy and counseling for couples can offer a safe space to explore these difficulties and find a path towards growing back together.
Change does not happen overnight. It is common to feel uncomfortable for a period of time once everyone starts learning their roles and working towards a therapeutic change. The old way represents distress, and the new way has to be learned. By applying specific strategies, focusing on trust, and learning new ways to listen, a new normal can be found that works for the members of the family dedicated to loving and supporting each other.
If you are concerned about the connections you are struggling with in your family, consider the following questions:
Do you feel further away from your partner in your emotions or decisions than you used to?
Do you worry that your partner isn’t concerned about you the way they used to be?
Does home life feel chaotic?
Does unplanned negativity keep happening when family members try to communicate?
If any of these questions have a yes, or you notice family interactions are strained more often than you are comfortable with, it may be worth your time to seek help from a professional. The goal of family and marriage counseling begins with having the right person to talk with and a safe space to explore the issues, gain insight, and identify useful solutions that work better and better over time. Having a strategy for making positive changes across the family unit can take time, dedication, and high amount of courage to face the issues and communicate even when it is difficult to listen. Counseling services can be a great place to gain knowledge and build connections with a person who can be there as you begin to practice walking down a new path. Finding ways to keep a balance in our family and relationships begins with our decision to pursue positive changes together as a unit and adjust the way we see ourselves as we experience the journey together.
