Family Counseling

We live in a fallen, sinful world that is full of troubles, pain, and obstacles to developing proper patterns and habits of a healthy family. While the family is supposed to be a place of peace, love, support, and safety from the raging storms of the world, it is often invaded by conflict, trauma, and other issues. Additionally, our society is addicted to social media and our smartphones have fundamentally changed how we communicate and relate to each other. Family time that used to be considered precious and sacred has given way to division and distraction in the home. This is where Christian family counseling comes in. It can help your family to navigate these challenges so you can realize God’s purposes for your family.

Relationships in the family are complicated. Each member’s behavior can have a profound effect on everyone else. At times, the relational patterns can seem fine, while beneath the surface all sorts of issues are going on that require lasting change based on repentance and forgiveness. Unhealthy family dynamics can create destructive forms of dysfunction that can tear a family apart.

Benefits of Christian family counseling include:

• Conflict resolution
• Help for behavior issues
• Help for academic problems
• Solutions to sibling rivalry
• Support for mental illness
• Support for substance abuse
• Help with difficult transitions
• Help for blended family issues
• Effective parenting tools
• Spiritual development

If you find yourself facing a family crisis, it is important not to ignore it. The family is one of the most priceless institutions in a person’s life and when it is operating properly, it can be a place of peace and calm in the middle of the storms of life.

No matter how healthy your family might be, however, problems can creep in. Whatever they might be, the Christian family counselors at Newbury Park Christian Counseling are here to help. Your family therapist will come alongside you and provide a place to find healing and hope.
