Family
Therapy

Everyone has a role to play

Everyone in a family is important and has a special role to play in the day to day function of the family unit.  Sometimes those roles put family members at odds or create situations that are difficult to manage. Sometimes those roles need to change or don't quite fit.  This is where family therapy comes in.  By providing a safe place for families to share ideas and examine these roles, and together we will help navigate those tough times and get everyone working together again.    

The impact of mental health on the family

When one family member is facing mental health challenges, it can put a strain on the entire family.  By bringing key family members to the table, we can help identify and alleviate stress that may result from the healing process.  We can also work with the entire family to identify what internal supports the family has available to help resolve issues and support the success of the therapeutic process. 

The many kinds of family

At Equilibrium Counseling Center we recognize that people define their family in many different ways and that family structures can change over time.  Whether you are a traditional family, single parent family, blended family, same-sex parent family, adoptive family, foster family, extended family, or any other special kind of family; we want to support you in making your family whole, strong and awesome. We can help you navigate the challenges you face each day and identify strategies to work through them as a family.  
Parenting is hard

When you first brought home that little bundle from the hospital, nobody ever told you it would be this hard.  Each phase of a child's development presents a new and uncharted undertaking. Sometimes kids take more than you ever have to give and yet they still want a little more.  What do you do?

Unfortunately, this question does not come with any easy answers.  The good news is that we are here to help.  We can help you explore options and learn new parenting strategies in a safe place with people who are excited to help.  

Each child is unique and requires a different set of skills to raise successfully. Often times finding the particular formula that works with your child is needed to obtain positive results. Equilibrium Counseling Center is committed to supporting you in expanding your parenting tools in order to build the relationship you want with your child. 

We know that children of all ages respond well to clear expectations, consistency and follow through for consequences, but implementing this can be easier said than done. Call us today to add us as a member to your team!
