FAMILY LIFE IS AN EVER-EVOLVING CHALLENGE.
You love your family and want the best for them. But love alone, contrary to what society says, is not enough to get you through all the arguments, deaths, divorces, and betrayals.
Every time a change occurs – starting a new job, an aging parent moving in, your teenage daughter moving out – it puts stress on your family, and the dynamics change.
Once your daughter moved out, you realized she was the peacekeeper between you and your stepson. Now the two of you are having epic verbal battles, casting a dark cloud over your home.
YOU’VE STOPPED COMMUNICATING.
The moment he turned 16, your son abruptly stopped listening to you. You make the same requests and recycle the same arguments on a torturous loop.
When tempers cool, you talk it through… kind of. But, like clockwork, you soon have another emotional explosion. You try to hold back, but the words escape before you can stop them.
Now you hold everything in, which is not helping either.
DIVORCE IS AN ENDLESS ORDEAL.
You are slogging through an unnecessarily long divorce and custody battle.
Meanwhile, your ex would rather spend money funding his lawyer’s home renovation than sit with a mediator and come to a settlement.
The financial burden is excruciating. But it’s second to the lies and character assassinations he’s making to your children and the court.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE BOOMERANGING.
You did it! You raised your children, put them through college, and they’re out on their own. You have an empty nest, and you’re loving it.
Then, one day your son calls with a voice that sounds like he’s in trouble. It turns out he’s been laid off and needs to move back home with his family.
It’s been two months, and although you love your son and grandchildren, you cannot live like this.
BLENDING FAMILIES TAKES WORK.
You met the man of your dreams. After a year of dating, you moved in together. You brought your daughter, and he brought his two sons.
The amount of chaos that ensued was shocking. Now you’re refereeing fights between your children, and you’re all at each other’s throats.
You’re desperate for the peace, calm, and happiness you experienced before you moved in together.
LEARN TO RIDE THE WAVES OF CHANGE.
Family therapy shows you how to talk without yelling and listen to understand without judgment. You’ll learn to define family rules and roles and make expectations clear.
We use science-supported tools to teach you about the stages of the family life cycle so they don’t blindside you and throw your family into a toxic spiral.
LEARN THE EIGHT PRINCIPLES THAT MAKE FAMILIES WORK.
Create your own definition of family, scrap ancient rules like gender roles that pit one family member against the other. We’ll show you how to avoid emotional cutoff and repair your family’s emotional process. You’ll learn tools to build stronger connections and break dysfunctional patterns.
When society is in chaos, it creates a tidal wave of chaos in your home. We’ll show you how to deal with that, too. You’ll also learn to live cohesively as a team. Remember, the Lakers didn’t win championships until Kobe started playing team ball.
As your family better understands themselves and each other as individuals, they will begin to operate smoothly as a unit and adjust to any challenges that come their way.
We make sure your family stays ready, so you don’t have to get ready.
ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
Asking your family members to attend family therapy can be intimidating. And coordinating schedules and dealing with people’s stigmas and fears about therapy only adds an extra layer of difficulty.
Don’t let the hard work get in the way of your peace. Don’t struggle unnecessarily. You’re not alone; we’ll be with you every step of the way.
