Families and Couples Therapy

Your family seems to have lost the ability to connect.

Now, you blame each other for the change in connection. The more distant you feel from each other, the more you begin to argue.

Your child’s behavior seems to get worse each day. Instead of focusing on your marriage, you are now worried about your child, and their behavior is all you discuss.

Working together as a family no longer seems possible.

You hope for change and want to keep the connection, but the current attempts for change seem to push you further apart.

Right now, running away seems like a viable option.

It hurts to think that you and your partner are losing your connection, and you feel powerless to change anything.

You and your partner wanted a family and created great plans for your future together. But the constant arguments, lack of communication, and loneliness have caused you to lose sight of those plans.

Giving up is not something you want, but depending on the day, hour, and fight, you vacillate from either extreme.

Family therapy offers a place for restoration.

In family therapy, we deeply examine how you connect with and disconnect from each other. We will look at how you communicate and help you express what’s under the surface, so each family member has a voice and a place to feel heard and understood.

Our part is to observe your interactions and be a guide in the process. When you are upset with each other, you have learned to argue, withdraw, and strike back at each other. It’s sometimes hard to see negative interactions when you are in the moment.

Our role is not to take sides but to help you gain a different perspective. We want to help you identify the source of the conflict and encourage everyone to communicate and feel heard.

In family therapy, we allow for the free expression of each family member in their unique way so that you can continue to grow together as individuals and as a family.

Let’s look at what’s been pulling you apart.

You can create a space where you can hear and truly see each other; where your words and your wishes matter; and where you begin to see parts of yourself, your children, and your partner that may surprise and even delight you.

Communication will feel more accessible and manageable, allowing you to see the possibility of change as your family connection returns.

Let’s open those lines of communication! Please call (804) 554-3638 to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation.
