Why seek family counseling?

Family counseling helps create more stable and solid family units. Whether you’re having problems with your spouse, children, or other family members, the team at Open Door Wellness Center is ready to provide support and solutions.

You might seek family counseling to:

• Improve family relations
• Resolve conflicts between family members
• Process and heal from the impact of substance use
• Assist in financial conflicts
• Heal from infidelity

Family counseling helps family members deal with grief, stress, and anger in a constructive manner. You learn skills that help you avoid future conflict, too. 

What skills do you develop in family counseling?

Your Open Door Wellness Center provider helps you and other members of your family to develop healthier ways to communicate. They can help you develop healthy boundaries and improve intimacy.

Family counseling helps members define each person’s role within the family and thus improve family dynamics. Your provider addresses dysfunctional interactions and helps you find better ways to deal with conflict.  

What can I expect during family counseling sessions?

Every session is customized to your family, the members attending, and the problems being addressed. Usually, the professionals at Open Door Wellness Center bring family members together for counseling, but sometimes a single family member visits individually. 

You typically commit to a series of sessions. The exact number depends on the issues to be resolved and the progress made during therapy. Each session lasts 50-60 minutes. 

Sessions usually involve faith-based counseling to help you:

• Express thoughts and emotions in an honest but productive manner
• Examine each family member’s ability to solve problems
• Explore behavior patterns that could contribute to discord and how to work through these issues

During family counseling, your provider helps you identify the strengths that you, as a family, should capitalize on and any weaknesses that could use extra support. You can learn new ways to interact to strengthen your bonds and deal with conflict in a healthy manner.
