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.
