As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered.
I'm a simple guy and straight-shooter, which means I'm a great fit for hard-working folks who want honest, solution-focused discussions about change. Guilt and shame have no place in my counseling room, only the realization that we're all human, all have our flaws, and all are struggling to figure out how to live with less chaos. I love working with men who aren't thrilled about the idea of going to individual or couples therapy, as well as law enforcement and first responders.

Since our society has shifted into a high tech world, text and email communication has dominated. Communication (TALKING to and with one another) has suffered. Real consequences include an epidemic OF lonliness among all age groups. Anxiety and depression are not uncommon and medications to treat those symtoms have shot out of the roof. Marital distress and divorce rates and have risen alarmingly. Suicide rates also. Communication of our needs and feelings often aren't expressed at all, or in ways that do not result in understanding and resolutions. With no resolution comes isolation.

At times, life is overwhelming and complex - trauma and stress can leave us disconnected from our bodies, feeling like we are floating through life, not truly present. After a while, we begin to feel stuck. The things we did to ease anxiety and alleviate the pain are no longer working for us. How do we change these patterns and stop the cycle? It is my goal as a counselor to help my clients become unstuck and find healing. Sometimes, we need a gentle push to simply begin the journey.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
