I specialize in Sibling Therapy and Mother/Daughter Therapy more info at recovermecounseling.com

As a specialist in working with family conflicts, you focus on helping families navigate and resolve disputes to restore harmony and improve relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as family therapy and conflict resolution techniques to address communication issues, identify underlying problems, and foster mutual understanding.

Are your identities (e.g., gender identity, sexual orientation) causing friction or distance in family relationships? Have you felt torn between loyalty and seeking autonomy from your family? Have complicated family relationships caused longstanding wounds? Are you a "cycle-breaker" in the family? Are you needing help navigating very different values and perspectives held by family members? Together, we can explore the nuances and complexities of your circumstances, and help you find alignment.

No one talks to each other anyone. Your house is too quiet. Or when they do talk, conversation escalates rapidly to yelling and slammed doors. Whether you're a household with teens, or adult siblings or grandparents struggling to talk to your adult children - it's time to get help. Soon you can laugh again with that broody teen, uncover whatever is going on that lingers unsaid between you, clear the air and learn skills to talk, listen, and hear each other in healthy ways - and it can be FUN!

Struggling with relationships with family members, family or origin or someone close to you? Maybe you have a toxic or abusive family member? Family conflict can be distressing and make you feel alienated. Let me help you navigate these issues and create a plan so that you can have the peace and valuable relationships you deserve!

Families are complex and throughout time often get stuck, and need support around a number of concerns. I have experience working with all types of families. Families going through a divorce, blended/step-families and extended family or in-law concerns. Raising children is not easy, thus it can be extremely challenging to navigate all of the different relationship dynamics in a family unit, an especially when going through a family change.

You are safe here. I get it. I'm an adult with ADHD and mom to five fabulous kids, four of whom also have ADHD and other neurodiversities. I've lived through chaos, self-doubt, massive insecurity, depression, anxiety and so much more on my journey to becoming an LMSW. You are not alone and you are not crazy. You have ADHD. I can help.

Are you struggling to be seen or heard in your family? Do you wish you had more positive ways of interacting with your loved ones? Would you like to find new strategies for parenting your child or connecting with your teen? My work with families centers around reducing conflict and deepening connections throughout the family system by helping increase family members' capacities to communicate wants, needs, and feelings and helping create a family culture of openness and respect.

Families can be complex. We’re taught that families should be a source of unconditional support, but what if they aren’t? It can be hard to give up hope that they’ll ever be who you need them to be. You might feel like you’ve exhausted all options and don’t know where to go from here with members of your family. You might feel guilt around the way things have worked out. Therapy can help you decide what to do with the feelings you feel and find ways to move forward that are right for you.

I have a lot of experience helping families increase their ability to communicate and feel a greater degree of connection. Often, once we understand and acknowledge the valid places our feelings are coming from, this enables the conversation to turn from conflict to communication. Everyone has a role to play and some valuable to bring to the table. My role is to help build on the connection that is already there

There are no perfect families. Sometimes old issues that seem like they should have been resolved, come back again and again. Whether it is between adult siblings or adult children and a parent, Jeannette York can help. Give her a call to set up an appointment today.

Family Conflict can happen when family members have different views or beliefs that clash. Peaceful resolution depends on negotiation and respect for the other person’s point of view. Effect communication is key.

Looking at family conflict from the lens of generational trauma, I support clients who are navigating issues of the past in their lives today.

The family unit may experience significant stress because of work, school, or the personality differences of various family members. In addition, as children grow and enter new phases in their lives, parents and children may need help in a safe environment to explore ways of coping with these changes. Our clinicians work with families and/or with a parent and a child to help them learn how to navigate transitions, communicate effectively, and develop an empathic, secure connection.

I enjoy working with adult children and their parents to help open the lines of communication and change old relationship patterns. I think adulthood is a great time to work on re-working relationships with parents and siblings so you can have healthier connections going forward.

I've worked as both a therapist and supervisor of intensive home-based family therapy services, and I have taught graduate-level counseling courses in family therapy for many years.

Family relationships can feel like a hurricane and there’s no end in sight to the conflicts. My approach looks at everyone’s perspective to make sure that they are listened to and solutions can be found to any family conflict. No sides are taken and everyone’s voice is heard so that there is understanding of how each person feels. I want my clients to leave with the confidence that they can handle any conflicts in the future and find their own solutions to whatever challenges they may face.
