Your home is not the peaceful place you want it to be.
Family time has become a chore and is not enjoyable for anyone.
You and your spouse or ex fight all the time and your children feel like they have to pick sides.
Everyone in your family feels overwhelmed and miserable.
When one person suffers, the family suffers
Family dynamics, like routines, are complicated, even under the best of circumstances. However, when complicated situations such as marital conflict, mental illness, life stress, or divorce enter the picture, tension can boil over causing the entire family to suffer. Maybe, you and your spouse are arguing a lot. Sometimes, your children witness your arguments. This leaves them feeling helpless. Younger children act out and have behavioral issues or become withdrawn. Older children may also have behavioral issues, get in trouble at school, or engage in risky behavior. Furthermore, they also get caught feeling like they have to pick sides. But, choosing between the two most important people in their life hurts and can be very uncomfortable.
Perhaps, you just separated from or divorced your partner. Now, you’re trying to navigate single parenthood, rotating children from house-to-house, and managing behavioral challenges and mental health concerns. You want what’s best for your family. And, you know your they’re struggling to adapt to this major life transition and the emotions it has caused.
Or, you’re getting re-married and creating a blended family. Now, you have to navigate the challenges of adding another parental figure to the mix, navigate challenging boundaries, and respect your ex’s wishes. You want to make this transition as seamless as possible for everyone involved.
Regardless of the situation, you know things have to change. You want your home to be a happy place where everyone can feel safe, loved, and respected. But, you’re not sure how to get there. You’re overwhelmed, stressed, angry, and miserable at home.

My-Therapist’s Approach to Family Counseling in Wake Forest, NC
We acknowledge how complicated family dynamics can be. Therefore, we start by assessing the situation that has brought you to counseling in the first place. To get a true understanding of the situation, we begin by giving the couple an assessment to determine their strengths and possible areas of improvement. Then, we get to know the family dynamic by bringing in all family members. If the family is large we may do it in small groups so we can truly figure out how each member interacts with each other.
When the family is together we will discuss concerns, and also learn tips and strategies to bolster communication and improve the family dynamic. You will also discuss how to create healthy boundaries and manage times of conflict, as they will inevitably reappear at times. The goal of family counseling is not to eliminate all conflict altogether. It’s to teach you how to work through conflict respectfully and effectively.
