Happy Couple, Happy Home

Emerald Therapy Center

By Cassie Johnson with Emerald Therapy Center

Our home should be our retreat and the place we feel most comfortable. But unwanted guests such as stress, worry, doubt, and fear enter our front door no matter how hard we try to prevent it. Work, school, family events, sports schedules, and the chaos of everyday life are a continuous cycle. Family counseling sessions are a wonderful way to help your family cope with the stress of the daily grind.

"The family is a system similar to our bodies,” said Kim Rowe, LPCC with Emerald Therapy Center. “The breakdown of one organ in the body impacts everything. When one member breaks down it has an impact on the entire family because the other members of the family work to compensate for the injured family member. Everyone must be on board to help,”

Both adults and children can build empathy and understanding toward one another while maintaining healthy boundaries to reduce the risk of conflict. Find a therapist or counselor that your entire family is comfortable working with to achieve the best results.

A happy home starts with a happy couple. Marriage counseling can be a valuable tool before and after marriage. According to a survey from the American Association of Marriage and Family, 97% of surveyed couples feel they got adequate help needed through couples therapy. 93% of couples who attended therapy agreed therapy gave them the strategies needed to easier handle conflict when it arose in their relationship.

“Most assume counseling is only needed when something is wrong, someone was unfaithful, or divorce papers are in the works,” Esther Malm, PhD, LMFT told me. “This couldn’t be further from the truth. Counseling is great for communication, growth as a couple, and a form of support that keeps away the unnecessary issues that can hurt relationships. Couples sessions can deeply impact your relationship for the better.”

From sibling rivalries and behavior issues to financial disagreements or conflicts with extended family members, help is just around the corner. Prioritize your family relationships by calling today to schedule your consultation. 
