Family Therapy
Does your Family Need Help?
- Does it feel like your family is in crisis?
- Perhaps this is a longstanding issue that you have been facing, but now feel ready for more support.
- Is the stress in your family leading you to feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or angry?
- Maybe there is conflict that is creating estrangement?
- Perhaps your family is adjusting to a divorce, a new marriage/domestic partnership, blending a family, losing a family member, or a new baby.
- Are there are challenges surrounding sexual or gender identity in the family system.
- Perhaps a loved one is experiencing a significant physical or mental health issue.
All families experience difficulties at some point
Every family goes through crises, some experience more than others, or more intensely for a period of time. It is not the absence of struggle that defines success, it is the ability to move through it and remain connected. Sometimes it is not safe to remain connected and establishing and maintaining boundaries is what is necessary, at least for a period.
We understand that family relationships bring up some of the most intense emotions that we experience in life, and we know how to help families move forward when stuck.
Family Therapy at Create Wellbeing can Help Using Our Unique 3-Stage Care Model
We will help CALM the distress in your family by providing a clear picture of the ways that past and present experiences are converging and creating cycles of conflict. We will teach you skills for regulating your body and communicating more effectively in order to resolve problems.
We will ENGAGE the family system in more deeply understanding each other and noticing patterns of engagement in which lead to conflict cycles and disengagement or escalation of emotions. We support family members with increased understanding and new strategies for approaching old problems.
We will INTEGRATE healing into your life. Healing is only really effective if it is sustainable. We will support you family with strategies for integrating the healing that has occurred with the greater system, such as extended family, schools and friends who are relevant to supporting the needs of the family.
Individualized Care for Every Family
We recognize that your family is truly a world of its own, a microcosm of history and individuality. The strengths, traumas, resiliencies, cultural and spiritual history are all different. And, it remains that the pillars of wellbeing for families tend to be consistent.
Some struggles in a family system are elements that will not necessarily change, such as aging, chronic illness or chronic mental health issues in a family. It is then our task to find ways to create wellbeing in our lives, no matter the struggles or challenges we face.
Our team will provide you with the resources for your family to develop this capacity and resiliency so that the ups and downs of life are not so overwhelming by effectively engaging your MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT.
