Family Therapy

Life in the family is chaotic.

How do you balance work, running around, cooking, cleaning, driving the kids to their games, and listening to your partner complain?

It’s 6:30 on a Monday night, and the phone rings. Your son’s teacher is asking you to come in this week to talk about his schoolwork and outbursts in class. Great! Dealing with this problem is one more thing on your plate! You try to talk to your husband, and he says, “He’s just a kid. Something like this happened all the time when I was his age.” There’s no parental alliance.

You and your daughter are close; she’s your buddy. Now that she has a boyfriend, you wonder if she is having sex.

You ask, and she yells, “Momma, STOP. That’s not going to happen.” You remember saying something to your mother that sounded similar.

Communication is challenging.

Your family has NEVER communicated in a way that you hear each other.

You and your husband don’t have any real relationship issues per se. The fights you two have revolve around the family schedule. It is CLEAR there are two different parenting styles. You fall on the passive side, and he falls on the avoidant teacher side. “If only he taught himself,” you say under your breath.

You search for solutions on your own and joined a podcast group that you enjoy. They talk about how therapy helps their lives in so many ways. This topic triggers your husband. He won’t even listen to the podcast to gain new tools.

While listening to stories about families, they sound like yours and some of your friends’ home lives.

“What if my daughter gets pregnant?”

You’ve had this thought ever since she started dating that boy. He’s a cutie.

You worry that your son will end up with the wrong crowd.

The gym no longer relieves all your tension.

Last night, you had two glasses of wine after dinner while worrying about your daughter and her boyfriend.

Your husband doesn’t drink often but watches YouTube videos, searching for who knows what.

Talking about family problems is challenging.

Family therapy can help you and your family gain tools to help you address concerns that are difficult to discuss openly.

Your family needs guidance to find a balance because if you do nothing, nothing will change. All the stress will continue to land on your plate, and asking your husband to go to family therapy will allow you to tune-up your family.

The last thing you want is a major catastrophe. Therefore, being proactive will allow you and your family to find that balance and communicate where everyone feels heard. Then, you and your family can work on allocating the workload in a manner where everyone carries the load.

I want to be your family therapist.

I can help you and your family have a benchmark of solid tools to make minor adjustments and significant changes.

Parents and children can better understand each other by addressing concerns and worries openly, helping your family find happiness and contentment.

If this sounds like your family or you have more urgent issues, call now to schedule your free consultation. The last thing you need is for this to get out of hand.
