Family counseling and therapy

Family counseling and therapy at orland Park Counselors

We know being part of a family is tough. It can be downright difficult to manage feelings when dealing with other people, let alone when we are so involved in each other’s lives such as with family.

There are many problems that come from being part of a family. Being a human being is hard enough, but when there are two people to consider the complexity goes up %100. When family is involved, it just keeps on getting harder.

Orland Park Counselors can help with that. We specialize in supporting individuals and that means families, because we all come from one, or in some cases, the lack of one or estranged families. We want to help improve family relationships and by doing so, improve each person’s life and wellness levels.

Relationships & Family: Family members are among the most important people in our lives.  Because a marriage, family, or relationship is comprised of two or more people, there are going to be conflicts and sometimes those issues call for professional support. We each act and react in our own individual ways to the situation and problems that arise in our families.  Especially when times are tough, like right now, counselors can help us learn better communication with each other, heal, and change behaviors with those whom we love. If you think you might benefit from talking with a counselor about a relationship or your family, we invite you to contact us.

Parenting: Parenting is a difficult journey. The challenge our children face are radically different than we faced. Problems with our children can cause us to feel helpless, confused, or out of control. Especially when there is conflict that our children are not able to communicate or are unwilling to share with us. In these uncertain times, our counselors are ready to come along side you as you help your children and learn and practice healthy behaviors for their future and the future of your family.. If you think you might benefit from talking with a counselor about parenting, or other issues related to childhood, we invite you to contact us.

Teenagers: Like Kids and Adolescents, teenagers face unique challenges. With the rise of a digitally native generation, your teenagers access information and face dangers that you did not face as a teenager. Our professional counselors are committed to unique issues such as school violence, bullying, internet addiction, sexuality, peer pressure and more. If we can help you cope with the stresses your teenager is undergoing, please outreach us. And if you know a teenager who might benefit from talking with a family therapist, we invite you to contact us.

Communication Skill Building: As life gets busy, life changes occur, and patterns and habits continue- communication, level of engagement, and interaction may get lost along the way. These developed communication patterns over time, may be ones we are not happy with, may not function in the way we want them to, or simply do not work for us. Our Family Therapist not only helps families explore new functioning, healthy, and beneficial patterns as a whole but also guides families to build communication skills that are going to work for everyone involved. If you think you might benefit from this, we invite you to contact us.

Stress: Stress is a very real part of our lives. We live in a fast-paced world that forces us to balance competing commitments such as family, work, health, and relationships. Both positive and negative events in our lives cause stress. Whether you are in the middle of a major life change, or trying to balance the daily tasks of life, We are there to help you deal with your stress. Stress can manifest itself in a variety of ways, physically, emotionally, and mentally. If you think you might benefit from talking with a counselor about the stress in your life, we invite you to contact us.

Divorce: Divorce is the most painful experiences that individuals and families can face. Broken relationships cause grief, stress, depression, health issues, and more. Each person connected with the divorce copes with the divorce differently. Out counselors work with couples, children, teenagers, and other family members who feel the effects of divorce. Sometimes we work with people right in the middle of their divorce, and sometimes we have clients who need to come in and process a divorce that happened years earlier. If you think you might benefit from talking with a counselor about divorce, we invite you to contact us.
