    Family Counseling

    Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.

    Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.

    Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:

    • Divorce
    • Parent-child conflict
    • Problems between siblings
    • Domestic violence
    • The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member

    Family therapy is necessary to address family issues and heal wounds that may have originated from generations back within the family of origin and have become perpetual issues over time. In family therapy, we focus on the problems and how to work through them, with understanding, and compassion. If any of the above scenarios resonate with your family, consider seeking family therapy with Yoked Marriage and Family Life Ministries. Family therapy can be beneficial on many different levels.

    Some positive family therapy outcomes are:

    • Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
    • Fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
    • Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
    • Builds empathy and understanding.
    • Reduces family conflict

    Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. As the family heals, each member benefits.
