LCS provides Couples Counseling and Family Therapy.

Couples and families are systems, meaning when one member is struggling, it can impact the other(s) in the relationship.  Couples and Family Therapy helps clients establish healthy communication and conflict resolution skills with one another to improve the relationships they value the most. 

Couples Counseling

Couples Counseling is designed to strengthen the quality of a relationship.  You and your partner will learn how to communicate your feelings and needs in order to get what you both want out of your relationship.  Couples learn how to deal with common relationship challenges in ways that support growth, both as individuals and as a couple.

Couples Counseling is successful when both partners are equally invested to finding solutions to relationship issues together and willing to put in the individual and shared work to grow.

Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:

• Addiction/Partner Addiction Support
• Balance (Work/Life/Family)
• Blended Families
• Chronic Illness
• Divorce
• Infidelity/Cheating
• Intimacy/Sex
• Mental Illness
• Parenting
• Pre-Marital/Readiness

If you and your partner are looking to increase feelings of connectedness, learn how to cooperate to support one another and solve day to day issues, and practice healthy relationship skills to reduce future conflicts, contact us to schedule a couples counseling appointment.

Family Therapy

Our "family of origin" plays a fundamental role in shaping our patterns of behavior and beliefs.  The family is one of the primary places people learn vocabulary, habits, customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around them.

Family therapy can help families address past and present issues, improve communication between family members, strengthen family relationships, and teach families how to work together resolve conflicts and increase harmony in the home.

Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:

• Divorce
• Parent-child conflict
• Problems between siblings
• Mental health or Behavioral issues that impact the whole family
• The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member

Some positive family therapy outcomes are:

• Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
• A fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
• Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
• Builds empathy and understanding.
• Reduces family conflict

Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.

Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.  If you’re interested in learning more, contact us to begin family therapy with one of our qualified clinicians.

NOTE: Couples and Family Therapy may be combined with Individual Therapy or done on it's own.  Your therapist will help you decide which therapeutic pathway is best to meet your individual, marital, or family needs.
