Family Conflict Counseling in Frisco
What is Family Conflict Counseling?
Family therapy, or family conflict counseling, is a specialized form of therapy designed to address issues within the family unit. Whether it is a challenging situation or a challenging relationship, PS Counseling Frisco can help.
I loves to work with teens and young adults and can honestly say I have never worked with a teen/young adult who did not long for a closer relationship with their parents and family in general. The same is true of parents. They may be frustrated, angry, and scared with their child, but they long for their children to see their good intentions and attempts to protect.
If you believe your family may benefit from conflict counseling, contact PS Counseling Frisco today to schedule a consultation with licensed professional counselor Renee Cagle, LPC, NCC. Give us a call at 469-747-1826 to get started, or request an appointment through our secure online form.
How is Family Conflict Counseling Different?
Unlike individual therapy, which focuses solely on one person, family therapy considers the dynamics and interactions among family members. At PS Counseling Frisco, I look for what is driving the behavior. The behavior is simply the band-aid hiding the wound underneath. For lasting healing, we have to identify the wound, the source of pain, and heal it.
The goals of this type of counseling aim to:
- Improve relationships by increasing understanding and connection
- Identify the true source of conflict
- Promote emotional well-being within the family
- Enhance parenting skills
- Establish and maintain healthy boundaries
Family therapy offers a supportive space for parents and children to explore their emotions and experiences together in a safe space. This requires a therapist who can balance letting people express their emotions with being able to respectfully take charge of the room and turn down the heat so therapeutic work can be done. As a mother of 4 young adults and myself having experienced a difficult childhood, as well as being a retired nurse… I can handle your chaos. It does not intimidate me.
