Counseling Services for Families
Families have a lot of challenges and changes to navigate once kids arrive. Those challenges and changes continue as your kids grow. Your family life together can be just as great a source of stress as it is joy. Families seek the support of Arbor for many reasons. Many come as children or teens in a rough transition to a more independent frame of mind in their own households. Others come wishing to resolve tensions with adult siblings or the family as a whole. Sometimes these tensions are fueled by change and loss and, at other times, long-standing conflicts within the family. We understand how difficult these challenges can be, even among families who love each other deeply.
Arbor professionals work with your family to strengthen communication and problem solving, and bring enjoyment and peace back into your lives… giving you hope for your future and your kids.
If you’re struggling with your brother, sister, parents, nuclear, extended, chosen, or step-family, Arbor can help.
