What is family therapy?
Family therapy is more than just counseling—it’s a chance for the entire family unit, including members of the family and individual family members, as a group of people, to heal, reconnect, and rebuild the bonds that matter most within the family system. The goal of family therapy is to facilitate these processes and strengthen the family system.
Family systems therapy, a specialized form of functional family therapy, offers real solutions for families facing the challenges of a blended family, trying to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of co-parenting, or struggling with sibling rivalry, including issues related to substance use.
If trauma has left its mark, or if the weight of parenting feels overwhelming, our compassionate counselors are here to support you. We offer a safe space for your family to explore these challenging situations, guiding you with patience, understanding, and proven strategies.
We’ll work towards better communication, deeper understanding, and a healthier, more connected family dynamic. You don’t have to go through this alone—we’re here to help you find a way forward.
What are the issues families face, and How TLC’s Family Therapists can help?
At Total Life Counseling, we understand that every family has its unique challenges—no two situations are alike. Family dynamics are complex, and navigating them often requires a skilled and empathetic guide. Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, or emotional distress, our experienced counselors are here to help.
Here’s how we can support you through some common family struggles:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

What are the Family Therapy Services Offered by Total Life Counselling?
At Total Life Counseling, we understand how challenging family life can become when conflicts arise, or transitions disrupt the balance. We’re here to walk you through those difficult moments, guiding you to rebuild connections and create harmony in your home.
Blended Families
Bringing two families together can feel like trying to merge two worlds. Everyone brings their own expectations, traditions, and emotions, which can lead to misunderstandings and tension.
Sometimes, a neutral, compassionate expert must help your family navigate these changes. Blended family therapy can help everyone feel heard, understood, and valued while creating a roadmap to unity.
How We Can Help:
- Build trust and acceptance among family members.
- Create healthy boundaries and shared expectations.
- Strengthen relationships through open, respectful communication.
- Foster a sense of belonging and teamwork.
Co-Parenting After Divorce
Divorce doesn’t just end a marriage—it reshapes a family. Co-parenting while dealing with leftover emotions or clashing priorities can be frustrating and make you feel distant.
Co-parenting therapy provides a safe space to work through the challenges, ensuring your children feel supported and loved while helping you and your co-parent work as a team.
How We Can Help:
- Develop a clear, cooperative parenting plan that puts your children first.
- Reduce conflict and miscommunication.
- Equip you with tools to handle disagreements calmly and constructively.
- Provide a steady foundation of love and security for your children.
Court-Ordered Classes
Being required to attend a class can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be just another checkbox. It’s an opportunity to grow, heal, and make positive changes for yourself and your family.
We approach court-ordered classes with compassion and understanding, turning what feels like an obligation into a meaningful journey of self-improvement.
How We Can Help:
- Provide practical strategies to manage stress, anger, or conflict.
- Improve communication and relationships with loved ones.
- Empower you to build a healthier family environment.
- Help you meet your legal obligations with dignity and growth.
Family Mediation
Family disagreements over parenting styles, finances, or life decisions can leave everyone drained and divided. These conflicts don’t have to define your family’s story.
Family mediation helps you work through disagreements constructively, finding common ground and solutions that work for everyone.
How We Can Help:
- Facilitate respectful, solution-focused conversations.
- Rebuild trust and understanding.
- Guide your family toward compromises that feel fair and achievable.
- Help you move forward with clarity and renewed connection.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
Children and teens often process family challenges differently, sometimes expressing themselves through behavior or withdrawing entirely. They may feel unheard or misunderstood.
Therapy provides kids and teens a safe space to express their feelings and helps parents understand their perspectives better.
How We Can Help:
- Address anxiety, anger, or behavioral concerns.
- Help children develop emotional resilience.
- Foster a stronger parent-child connection.
Family Counseling for Trauma
Trauma can deeply affect the dynamics of a family, creating barriers to communication and trust. Whether it’s due to loss, abuse, or a sudden life change, these experiences can linger without intervention.
Family trauma therapy helps you heal as a unit, rebuild trust, and navigate the emotional complexities together.
How We Can Help:
- Heal from shared or individual traumas.
- Strengthen the emotional bonds within the family.
- Develop coping mechanisms to face future challenges.
Family Dynamics Counseling
Sometimes, families simply need help understanding each other better. Misaligned expectations, differing values, or longstanding tensions can drive a wedge between loved ones.
Family dynamics counseling helps families identify patterns, improve communication, and build healthier relationships.
How We Can Help:
- Learn to recognize and break unhelpful habits.
- Create a stronger foundation for future interactions.
- Build mutual respect and understanding among family members.
At Total Life Counseling, we believe that no family is too broken to heal. Whether you’re struggling with change, communication, or conflict, our family therapy services in Winter Park provide a compassionate space to navigate these challenges together. Let’s help your family find its way back to connection and peace.

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. I don’t have words to express my gratitude for your excellent service. You just saved 3 small childrens future/lives. This world needs more people like you and i hope total life counseling knows what a great asset they have, Thank you.”
