What is family therapy​?

 

Family therapy goes beyond simple counseling; it offers an opportunity for the whole family unit, as well as each individual member, to heal, reconnect, and restore the essential bonds within the family dynamic. The aim of family therapy is to support these processes and enhance the family system.

Family systems therapy, a specific type of functional family therapy, provides practical solutions for families dealing with the complexities of blended family dynamics, managing the emotional ups and downs of co-parenting, or facing sibling rivalry, particularly in relation to substance use issues.

If you feel overwhelmed by the weight of parenting or if trauma has affected you, our empathetic counselors are ready to help. We provide a secure environment for your family to navigate these difficult circumstances, offering guidance with patience, understanding, and effective strategies.

Our goal is to enhance communication, foster deeper understanding, and create a healthier, more interconnected family environment. Remember, you’re not alone in this; we’re here to support you in finding a path ahead.

Parents and kid in a therapy session

Here’s how we can support you through some common family struggles:

  1. Communication Breakdowns: If your family is stuck in a cycle of miscommunication, we can help you learn effective communication techniques. Our counselors work with you to establish healthy channels of dialogue, teaching active listening and conflict resolution skills so that every family member feels heard and understood.
  2. Blended Family Struggles: Merging two families can be complicated, but we’re here to guide you through this transition. Our therapists specialize in family and group therapy, helping step-parents, biological parents, and children adjust to new roles, set boundaries, and build strong, supportive relationships.
  3. Parenting Challenges: Parenting is never easy, and it’s especially challenging when you’re facing complex behaviors or differing parenting styles. Whether your child is struggling with emotional issues or you’re trying to manage different parenting approaches, we provide strategies for handling behavior and enhancing parent-child relationships.
  4. Teen and Adolescent Issues: Teens often face pressures that are difficult for parents to understand fully, and vice versa. Our counselors provide teenagers and their parents with the tools to bridge the gap. Through therapy, we address issues like peer pressure, emotional regulation, and identity struggles, helping both parties navigate these difficult years.
  5. Co-Parenting After Divorce: Divorce is challenging for everyone involved, especially children. Our team helps co-parents work together to establish healthy, supportive, and consistent environments for their children. We provide tools for creating positive co-parenting relationships, managing conflicts, and meeting your child’s emotional needs.
  6. Trauma Recovery: Trauma can tear families apart, but healing together can help mend those wounds. Whether it’s due to loss, abuse, or a traumatic event, our counselors specialize in trauma therapy, guiding your family through the healing process while helping everyone understand and process their emotions.
  7. Dealing with Adult Children: As children grow into adults, new challenges arise, whether it’s independence, setting boundaries, or managing family roles. Our family treatment sessions address how parents can support adult children while also establishing healthy boundaries for themselves.

We know these challenges can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, healing and strength are possible. At Total Life Counseling, we’re here to guide your family through this journey every step of the way.

Our expert marriage and family therapist will work with your family to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and provide the tools you need to tackle challenges confidently. Whether you face day-to-day difficulties or navigate major life changes, we’re here to help guide you toward stronger, healthier relationships.

A Few Kind Words From Satisfied Clients

“Well let me start by letting you know i have been blessed. I went to court in August and was alittle scared, I saw my daughters mother attorney and the mother of my daughters prepared to battle full custody. I gave [TLC’s Counselors Report] the report to my attorney and she immediately gave a copy to the attorney representing the mother of my daughter. At that point the mother [x-wife] put her head down and indicated to her attorney to give me what i want. I could not beleived it, she gave me the custody after a 5 yr battle. Your report was seen by both attorneys and by the judge who indicated the report came from someone with excellent credentials and that it was very strong in my favor.
