FAMILY THERAPY SUPPORTS THE MANY DYNAMICS OF A FAMILY Families are so diverse that it is a challenge to put it into a single definition. As a result, there are many different facets to a family. In the past you may have been dealing with a strained relationship involving: Parent & Child Parent & Step-Child Parent & Adult Child Sibling & Sibling Family Member & Relative Family Member & In-Law And that is just scratching the surface of the many different relationships that exist within an immediate family, relatives, and extended family members of choice.

DEVELOPING TRUST WITH TEEN THERAPY Teens have a lot of things they would like to get off their chest. But who do they turn to? During these years it may be difficult to really open up to a parent, relative, teacher, coach, or other type of mentor. They need someone they can trust, even if that trust takes some time to develop. Contact our holistic and somatic therapists that specialize with teenagers for an initial consultation. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/teen-therapy

People with mental health conditions often find  psychotherapy -or “talk therapy”-very helpful. The type and length of your therapy will depend on your personal situation and insurance, and your therapy may be part of an overall treatment plan that includes medication or other treatment options.  Holistic and somatic therapy  goes beyond  “ talk therapy ”  for deeper healing and understanding on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. www.lifebydesigntherapy.com

BUILDING A PROMISING FUTURE WITH CHILD THERAPY Parents have a massive amount of responsibility on their hands. It has never been more evident than in contemporary society where time consuming careers, long commutes, family obligations, and other commitments make spending quality time with children such a challenge. It doesn’t mean that parents do not care (in fact quite the exact opposite), just that obligations and commitments don’t offer some of the opportunities to “get real” and to the heart of what is also bothering them. In addition to a never ending lack of time in a day, other children may find it hard to open up to a parent or teacher due to a variety of reasons. In these circumstances (and many others like it), considering therapy for children is a worthwhile and effective way to reach kids like never before.

MOVING FORWARD WITH COUPLES THERAPY After spending some time in the “real world” it is easy to get jaded and cynical when it comes to personal relationships and intimacy. We get hurt by them and the years slowly chisel away at our hopes and ambitions that relationships can actually be rewarding and self-fulfilling. Love is not accurately depicted in Hollywood blockbusters. Everything is not always perfect, sometimes it doesn’t conclude with happy endings. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/marriage-counseling

Current treatments and the dominant model of  mental health  care do not adequately address the complex challenges of mental illness, which accounts for roughly one-third of adult disability globally. www.lifebydesigntherapy.com
