Family therapy with Lionhearted Counseling LLC

When a close relative is acting in a problematic fashion and the family dynamic is breaking down, it’s often hard to know what to do or where to turn. Direct confrontation is a recipe for arguments that only drive you further apart, but avoiding the issue and trying to paper over the problems is only storing up trouble for later. If you are at your wit’s end with a family member, it’s time to try a different approach. Family therapy works by providing you with a safe and supportive environment where you can tackle difficult issues without always worrying that it will descend into name calling and fights. In family therapy, our clinicians can give you the bird’s eye view of your family’s dynamics allowing you to understand to how the actions of each family member affect the others and giving you tools to re-calibrate the way you interact.

Sessions will start by taking the time to really listen to your concerns, needs, and goals in order to devise a treatment plan with the highest chance of success. Depending on the circumstances, you might start by combining family therapy with separate individual therapy for the family member exhibiting the most problematic behavior. As you progress in therapy, you will learn how to set healthy boundaries and find ways to communicate more effectively without having to resort to shouting and arguing. If you have a son or daughter who is struggling, for example with alcohol or drug abuse, family therapy can help you to support your child as he or she makes progress and gets his or her life back and track. You can learn what kind of behaviors are most likely to encourage and support your child in a positive cycle of growth. At the same time, family therapy can help you deal with the pain that you experience as a parent with a child who is suffering and making you suffer at the same time.

Through effective and caring family therapy, you can all gain from the experience of working to be effective supports for each other, turning disagreements and challenges into a chance for family growth rather than breakdown.
