Family Therapy

When family doesn’t feel like a family…

“We used to be happier as a family, but now it seems like all we do is fight and hurt each other.”

Has family life become something you want to distance yourself from at every opportunity?

Is family to you nothing but non-stop arguing, yelling, digs, or put-downs?

Just know that it doesn’t have to stay this way.

The system isn’t working, so change it!

In all families, regardless of how they are put together or which members are involved (or not involved), everyone in the family is a vital part of a system.

Because of changes or inability to navigate some of the challenges that life throws at us, these systems sometimes start functioning in a maladaptive way.

As one part of the family system changes or starts working ineffectively, others are forced to change with respect to the part that they play in the family.

Family members often take each other for granted and therefore become the target of frustration, blame, and bad behavior that may have little or nothing to do with each other.

Creating a smooth-running system

Years of excellent research and studies have provided proven ways to put the family structure back in a healthy place (or move it there if it never has been). This can allow family members to work together more effectively to help restore or create closeness and friendships found in the happiest of families.

Understanding one another and learning how to navigate each other’s needs can help begin to heal wounds, generate forgiveness, and create harmony.

Whether it be your current family or your childhood family, we can help you learn how to create an effective family system.
