Family Therapy
What to Expect
At Sunrose Therapy, I welcome individuals from all family structures, including traditional nuclear families, blended families, step-families, adoptive families, multigenerational families, single-parent families, LGBTQ+ families, and chosen families. In our family therapy sessions, you can expect a safe, empathetic, and confidential space to explore your family dynamics, communication patterns, and emotional connections. Using the principles of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), we'll work together to identify and challenge negative emotional patterns and cycles that may be impacting your family relationships.
Through our work together, you'll gain:
Greater awareness of your individual and collective emotional experiences
Tools to identify and challenge negative emotional patterns and cycles
Strategies to cultivate emotional intimacy, empathy, and understanding among family members
Enhanced communication skills and conflict resolution strategies
A deeper sense of connection, trust, and unity
Ultimately, this journey will empower your family to develop a more fulfilling and resilient relationship, equipped with effective communication strategies and a profound understanding of each other.
Common Issues
While every family's journey is unique, there are common challenges that often bring families to therapy. Some of these issues include:
Communication breakdowns and conflicts among family members
Parenting challenges, such as discipline, boundary-setting, and co-parenting
Sibling rivalry, bullying, or other forms of conflict
Navigating life transitions, such as divorce, remarriage, or blended families
Managing the impact of trauma, mental health concerns, or addiction on the family
Dealing with feelings of resentment, anger, or frustration among family members
Building a stronger sense of teamwork, cooperation, and mutual support
Addressing issues related to cultural, racial, or socioeconomic differences within the family
If you're struggling with any of these concerns, family therapy can provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore your family dynamics, develop new insights, and build greater emotional resilience and connection.
