Family Therapy

I thought my family would be different …

No matter how hard you’ve tried, it’s there. Dysfunctional patterns of behaviors just seem to continue, and they are present in your daily life, causing stress that is felt as you walk into the room.

You witnessed these behaviors growing up. You promised that when you were a parent, things would be different.

Is this acceptable behavior? Are we repeating those toxic patterns that we experienced growing up?

Why can’t we be a normal family?

You see other families and wish that you had the unity they seem to have.

With each new day, it’s hard to get out of the rut caused by learned behaviors that now seem to be the norm.

Each incident just adds to the pain.

You want to stop the cycle.

We do what we’ve seen.

Just because we’ve lived it, doesn’t make it right.

Inside, we know that it has to change, yet the pattern of dysfunction continues to manifest with each passing generation.

Hope starts with you.

The solution resides in you.

You are the one to stop the cycle.

You are the compass to change the course of your family.

There is safety in numbers.

In therapy, having a neutral person allows the family to speak openly.
When this occurs, the necessary happens – addressing the elephant in the room.

The opportunity to speak candidly without interruption gives each member the chance to voice their concerns.

As therapists, we can provide guidance and start the process of resolving old conflicts, healing old wounds, and developing healthier boundaries.
