Family Counseling at Child & Family Guidance Center in Tacoma & Lakewood, Washington

Families seek our services when the atmosphere at home becomes overwhelming, chaotic, angry, and disconnected. There are many transitions in the family life cycle that present challenges (having children, adolescent and teen years, aging parents, illnesses, loss, divorce, financial struggles), and families can often get stuck with one or more member, causing extreme distress and symptomatic behaviors.

Our approach to family therapy looks at the family as a whole. Our clinicians are trained to identify the dysfunctional interactional patterns of the family. We look at the current structure of the family to see how it is organized, and misaligned.

We aim to create a healthy family system where the parents are united in their parenting approach and provide consistent rules and expectations for children to follow. We help parents set boundaries around giving, and teaching responsibility.

We help parents listen to the needs and wants of their children without judgment, criticism, and stonewalling. We aim to restore children’s faith and trust in their parents’ ability to be responsive.

We help create connection, trust, and safety within the family system to cultivate parents’ own ability to successfully navigate life’s challenges and transitions.

Child & Family Guidance Center is a group with experienced counselors in Tacoma, Washington. We strive to match you with the right therapist for you. Please call us at (253) 565-4484 to inquire about our services.
