Family Counseling

Should Your Family Seek Counseling?

The family unit is the foundation of almost every society. We believe strong family relationships are integral to a healthier life. Sadly, it’s far too common for families to crack under the pressure of intense emotions, life’s difficulties and lack of communication.

The trained professionals at Taylor Counseling Group have seen families of all shapes and sizes. You may feel brokenhearted or embarrassed that your family is going through difficulties, but you are not alone. Families seek counseling for a variety of reasons, including:

• Major life transitions.
• Poor communication.
• Conflicts between parents and children, whether the children are adults, teens, or young ones.
• Concerns for aging parents.
• Sibling rivalry and sibling issues.
• Marital problems, divorce, or separation.
• Financial difficulties.
• Impact of substance abuse or mental illness on the family.
• Situations causing stress, grief, anger or conflict.

Your family functions as an interrelated system. When one person in the family struggles, it affects everyone. By addressing the difficulties your family is facing and engaging in therapy, your family system can grow, flourish and prosper. However, it all starts with choosing to get help.

Parenting Concerns

Being a parent can be a fulfilling experience. It can also be challenging and time-consuming. You must take care of your child’s daily needs and developmental skills and teach them appropriate behaviors. If you have more than one child, you know that each one is different and a strategy that works with one doesn’t necessarily work with the other.

If you’re new to parenthood, feeling overwhelmed or parenting while facing mental health conditions, you can do with extra support. A therapist equips you with practical techniques and is an empathic ear for you to voice your concerns in a safe, judgment-free environment.

Parenting Education and Development

Most people expect to receive training when they start a new role or enter a specific career. Effective parenting is a skill that takes practice and development like anything else. During education and development counseling sessions, you can learn basic skills involved in parenting, including:

• Communication skills, attentive listening, thoughtful expression and conflict resolution.
• Providing structure and predictability through routines.
• Discipline with logical consequences and a calm demeanor.
• Positive reinforcement.

Parent education and development can help improve your relationships, whether you’re a parent now or becoming one soon.
