Help your young family members experience a more fulfilling home life.

Every family experiences conflict. After all, living together will create tension along the way.

​

For many families, regular breakdowns in communication can cause intense emotional responses. Continued conflict can lead to disconnection, decreased empathy and escalated tension within the home.

​

It is possible to regain a strong family bond through family therapy. By fostering empathy and healthy communication, you can improve your family relationships.

​

When we work with families, we aim to clarify family roles, increase understanding and encourage adaptable behaviours among family members. Family counseling examines the dynamics of a family unit as a system of individuals.

 

Ultimately, one family member’s choices will impact the rest. Make a positive change, and the effects will reach the rest of your family.

As family therapists, our role includes:

  • Helping your family understand how it functions as a unit. This includes family dynamics, roles, and individual behavioral patterns.

  • Educating your family in different family system roles and how your family functions.

  • Helping your family focus less on the member identified as problematic, and instead focusing on how the family functions as a whole.

  • Identifying main points of conflict, anxiety and unwanted behaviours. From there, we help your family develop strategies to work toward resolution.

  • Strengthening and encouraging all family members, so that each one feels safe and confident working on family problems together.

  • Teaching the family to use coping strategies and healthy communication patterns to handle conflict and change within the family unit.

  • When you understand individual roles in your home, you increase empathy. With the right tools in place, we can help your family reach a happier, healthier home life.
