Family Systems Therapists in 66044
I work with clients from a family systems perspective while utilizing many forms of therapy from my broad range of experience and training.
Are you an adult looking for help with Affair or Divorce Recovery, anxiety, career questions, or depression? Does your marriage need help recovering from infidelity? I offer daytime and evening hours. Do you have parenting issues that are frustrating you and just need some direction? Are you looking for pre-marital preparation or inner healing of past trauma? I also provide equine-assisted psychotherapy (therapy done by interacting with horses). Equine therapy is done offsite at a nearby location.

Currently accepting new clients! You’ve always felt different, and always feeling different is lonely. You think about things more deeply than most people; you seem to feel things more deeply too. Often you find yourself appeasing others at your own expense, because the idea of confrontation or asserting yourself is overwhelming. You hold yourself to high standards and constantly compare yourself to others. In fact, you’re so used to being what other people want you to be that you aren’t even sure who you are. You’re tired of relying on external validation and tired of struggling so much to speak up for your needs.

Do you ever wonder why your child engages in certain behaviors? All behavior has meaning and not knowing all the answers about your child can bring up a lot of different emotions. Mindful Guidance offers both individual and family therapy, as well as comprehensive ADHD assessments that are strengths-based and tailored specifically to the needs of your child and family. I recognize that growth takes time and can evoke strong emotions. As such, I work with you to foster a safe space to process situations, relationships, and events in your child's life to help set them up for success.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
