Blended Families
COUPLES COUNSELING SERVICES
BLENDED FAMILIES HAVE UNIQUE CHALLENGES IN COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTION.
“We love each other, but my spouse’s child is having a hard time adjusting to our marriage.”
“We have very different parenting styles, and the kids are confused.”
“We have both biological children and foster children with different needs.”
“I’m divorced but started dating again and want to know how to talk to my kids.”
JOURNEYS IS HERE FOR YOUR FAMILY
It can be difficult to successfully navigate the various needs of spouses, children, and extended family members. Our highly skilled therapists are trained in assessing the family system, identifying issues, and helping you work toward solutions. Improving communication, adjusting expectations, and increasing emotional connection can all be part of the healing journey for your new relationship, marriage and your family.
YOU MAY STILL HAVE CONCERNS, SUCH AS…
“We aren’t having too much difficulty yet, so maybe counseling should wait.”
We find that families willing to get help sooner rather than later often have better outcomes. It can be easy to put off counseling, but like any form of healthcare, it often works best as a preventative or early intervention measure. When couples or families identify upcoming changes (remarriage, bringing in foster children, adoption, blending children from two different families), counseling can be a helpful strategy for ensuring a positive transition.
