Family Counseling

Couples Counseling

The most common issues married couples must negotiate are sex, money, children, friends, in-laws, division of work, and worldviews (often political and religious). In the best of situations, these issues present challenges. It is important to remember that struggles in your relationships likely are very specific and perhaps a little different from the most common issues. Regardless, working with a professional counselor brings powerful benefits to struggling couples, and it can help them navigate the difficult discussions surrounding the possibility or the reality of divorce. When children are involved, the decision for divorce can add the emotional and mental turmoil of your children to the economic strain.

Family Counseling

More expansive than Couples Counseling, Family Counseling involves the entire family, parents, and children, which aims to nurture positive change and development. Family counseling typically views positive change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. Healthy family relationships are an important factor in the individual psychological health of both the parents and the children. Family counseling can assist in developing a strong family unit that provides children with a sense of belonging, value, and support, even when in the face of divorcing parents. All family members will benefit from choosing family counseling as a tool to find peace.
