Family Therapy in Destin

Like it or not, our families are incredibly important to who we are and who we become. They can be a person’s introduction to the world, shaping how they speak, behave, think, and feel. While none of this is unchangeable, it is worth acknowledging a family’s influence.

They say you can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your family. Being “thrown together” can be difficult on a collection of individuals who may evolve to have different viewpoints, goals, values, and ways of doing things. Your family could be blood relatives, a foster family, a chosen family or an adopted family. Whatever the case, maintaining a healthy relationship with family tends to require work, or at least it requires learning how these people interact, and knowing your place and responsibilities within the ongoing dynamic.

Therapy can help a family maintain its mental health, building stronger connections between the members and making the family more united and more resilient.

Who Benefits from Family Therapy in Destin?

Family therapy focuses on families but can also include couples in intimate relationships. People see us for family therapy to:

Improve Communication – Although people are within the same family, they can have very different ways of thinking and communicating. Between optimists and pessimists, and introverts and extroverts, there are no two members of a family that are completely alike. Trained, experienced family therapists in Destin like those at Krueger Wellness Institute can help diverse family members overcome communication barriers.
Manage and Resolve Conflicts – A professional therapist will not take sides. Instead, they can be helpful as an impartial, skilled third party. A therapist can use their experience and learning to ask questions that frame or reframe a situation for participants. The objective is not to make anyone right or wrong, but to improve the family’s awareness of the issues, help develop one or more solutions, and to help family members commit and follow through.
Assist with Transition – Going through a transition and everyone is handling it differently? Whether military or another life transition we are here to help give everyone a voice and find a common ground for transition and finding balance.

When to Seek Family Counseling in Destin?

Some of our clients seek family counseling services in Destin during major change or transition. A death in the family or a divorce can cause trauma and rifts between family members. It will manifest even more so if those wounds are not acknowledged. In these circumstances, family counseling can help raise a family’s awareness of issues impacting its health. A therapist can guide a family toward a resolution that makes the family more cohesive.

The change might be a child leaving home or parents reaching retirement age. All these changes affect more than one individual. They can have a lasting ripple effect on a family that can be damaging if unaddressed. Our Destin family counseling services can help families come together and move past a loss or significant change, acknowledging a challenging past and finding a new way forward.

A family counselor can help a family address specific issues that have affected the functioning and the mental health of a family as a whole. Family therapists at Krueger Wellness Institute can work on specific cognitive or behavioral problems. We can be that third party that helps your family come out the other side stronger and more united.

Counseling for “Dysfunctional” Families

First, let’s rephrase that to a family with current dysfunction or unbalance. We understand that the dysfunction was probably not always that way, and it certainly does not have to stay that way. All families go through changes, and most deal with some dysfunction at some point. You can choose what to do about it, and we can help.

Family counseling in Destin can help a family become more cohesive. Suppose a family is already making progress on the long road to repair. In that case, it does not mean that they should not seek help to make the journey even more productive and the healing even more effective.
