All families experience transitions and sometimes confront stressful difficulties that seem impossible to overcome. At the same time, families are incredibly resilient and have the capacity to reach deep into their resources and change their negative circumstances, especially with the assistance and support of a skilled counselor. When problems arise, Portland Wellness Counseling is dedicated to helping families correct their course with love, limits and guidance.
As your therapist, my role is to facilitate a space for compassionate communication where each family member can learn to identify their needs, feel comfortable expressing their feelings and engage in healthy dialogue to accomplish a more harmonious balance.
