Family relationships can be a great source of happiness, love, connection and personal growth.They can also cause a great deal of stress, anxiety, and even anger when we’re not getting along. Sometimes relationships within the family become strained and are troubled with conflict and misunderstanding. This can be between you and your parents, your children, your siblings or other family members. Blaine works with you and your family members to turn things around and create healthy communication, harmony and collaborative decision making.
In family counseling, it is typical to work with all the family members together in session who are experiencing the relationship challenge. However, during the period of treatment, it is sometimes also helpful at times to meet with each person individually for a few sessions to go deeper into their perspective on the problem. In the first session, Blaine will strategize with you to determine the best course of treatment, based on your particular situation. Sessions are generally 50 minutes in length, although occasionally we will meet for a pre-arranged session and a half (75 minutes), to allow more time for individual family members to share.
