Family and Couples Counseling

​

While every individual is born with an inherent nature or temperament, our families of origin have profound effects on the way that we experience ourselves, the world around us, and our intimate relationships. Heartwood views families as a system; every individual plays a different role and all roles are important to maintain homeostasis in the  family system. Sometimes however, the roles we take on as children or adults can lead to an imbalance in the family system.

Family therapy and couples counseling are opportunities to improve collaborative problem solving skills and practice effective and authentic communication between individuals. With healthy communication, creativity, and compassion the family system is afforded more adaptability and more choice.
