Family Counseling in Grand Blanc, MI Great Lakes Psychology Group

Family is not just an important thing – it’s everything.

That’s why when conflict and stress arise with those closest to you, it’s essential to seek family therapy at our Grand Blanc office. There’s no shame in seeking help to reestablish family harmony and improve your mental health.

Common Reasons for Family Therapy

Birth of a new baby Divorce and remarriage Estranged family Loss of career or income Mental or substance abuse disorders Moving homes or a child moving out

Family counseling promotes better relationships and understanding within a family.

It may be an incident or time period specific, such as through the duration of a divorce or after experiencing trauma. Alternatively, family counseling can address the needs of the family when one family member suffers from a mental or physical illness that alters his or her behavior or habits in negative ways, such as during depression or PTSD. Our network of Grand Blanc family counselors and psychologists help families reflect on new and better ways of communicating with each other and foster closer, more secure emotional attachments.

Did you know?

Approximately 3 out of 4 individuals who divorce will get remarried. About 40% of married couples in the U.S. are parents of a blended family. Divorce rates have dropped by almost 18% since 2008, meaning more families are working to overcome challenges.

Should you seek family therapy? Ask yourself:

Is your family life characterized by constant conflict and tension or emotional distance and stress?
Are you a blended family struggling to create a new family after divorce and remarriage?
Do you dread family interaction because of a past or present conflict?
Do you feel sad or alone, despite being surrounded by family?
Do you sometimes feel jealous when you see other families interacting in a warm and mutually-supportive way?

Family counseling is used to:

Regain communication between parents, teens, and extended family
Decrease stress from major life changes, like having a baby, getting married or divorced
Support and guide grief over the loss of a loved one
Adjusting to changes in the family unit, like when children go to school or teens move out
Strengthen the family as a whole, making time together enjoyable
Putting individual symptoms in context of their impact on the family as a whole
