Family Therapy In Oakland Park, FL

Do you feel like the black sheep of your family?

Are you constantly being blamed for family drama?

Recurring themes of lying, bullying, manipulation, favoritism, verbal abuse, guilt-tripping, unhealthy boundaries, and secrets, are common control mechanisms often used in families to maintain control.

This can cause significant mental, emotional, and physical distress to the more vulnerable members within that family unit. Toxic family interactions can also fuel anxiety, depression, feelings of helplessness, low self-esteem and traumatic-loneliness.

Many individuals tend to view themselves as the problem, and assume responsibility for conflict within their families to make sense of the dysfunction.

A toxic family dynamic tends to function as many bodies, with one identity. Conflict is normal but many families do not know how to manage conflict in a healthy way.

You cannot force your family members to go to therapy, or change, however, if your family is willing and ready to do the work, change can happen. Here’s how we can help:

Develop understanding of family dynamics.

Develop healthy boundaries.

Facilitate healthy communication among family members

Reduce conflict by developing healthy problem-solving skills

Repair relationship ruptures

Normal is a myth, and perfect families do not exist!

However, it doesn’t mean that yours can’t function in a healthy way.

If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment or you’d like more information, please contact us.

Best Online Family Therapy

Family therapy typically refers to therapy treating all or most of a family as a unit. Families might see a therapist to stave off budding problems, such as growing tension or disconnection among family members. Or, they might need help with a specific challenge, such as dealing with a traumatic incident, a mental or physical health diagnosis, a difficult life change such as a job loss, divorce or death, addiction issues or caregiving, parenting or sibling conflicts.

Family Therapy in Berkeley

Right now, you may be wondering how on earth to help your family.

Maybe your teen or tween has shut down and withdrawn, not letting you in anymore and you’re wondering how to help them.

Perhaps you’re feeling concerned about the fact that your kids just never seem to be able to get along and you only seem to make it worse when you intervene.

Or you might be curious how you, your partner, and your kids can best navigate a rocky transitional time, like the teenage years, a big move, or a shift in your relationship (divorce, separation, re-marrying and blending together families).

Do you need support?

Maybe your child has decided to transition and you don’t know how to handle it well as a family.

You’d like to be able to support your kids in any way you possibly can but it seems like every time you open your mouth it only makes it worse.

You’ve talked to your friends, you’ve read the books, and none of it seems to be helping.

You need some professional support. You need Family Therapy & Counseling from Evergreen Counseling.

What Our Family Therapy & Counseling Offers:

That’s where family therapy and a good family counselor can come in.

A family counselor can help you guys feel safe, comfortable, and supported enough to really talk about what’s going for you all without falling into those patterns you all seem to get stuck in at home.

A good family counselor can help identify patterns and dynamics playing out that may be getting in the way of you all feeling close and connected.

And most importantly, a good family counselor can help you build a bridge back to one another as a family.

Because, let’s face it, at the end of the day you probably just want to feel connected to each other again, don’t you?

Relief From Disconnection, Isolation, Anger, Stress And More:

Family counseling takes time, effort, and an investment from each member of your family to show up and be vulnerable with one another.

While family counseling doesn’t come with guaranteed results, some of the benefits of it may include:

Improved communication with one another;

Lessened defensiveness;

More empathy and compassion and kindness towards one another;

A deeper sense of understanding how your individual behavior (or lack of it) is impacting one another;

Tools and resources to practice new, more healthy and functional behaviors and habits;

A neutral third party perspective on what’s really going on and how you guys can feel close again.

Truly, beginning family counseling can have a profound and transformative impact on your life together.

The Next Steps for Family Therapy:

Here at Evergreen, we know that choosing the “right” family counselor can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing and we want to help you make this decision and feel totally at ease about booking a session with us which is why we encourage you to check out our clinician bios, our FAQ’s, the kind words people have said about working with us, and our blog.

We Offer Complimentary Consult Calls And Personalized Therapist-Matching Assessments.

We offer complimentary 20-minute consult calls with any of our therapists that you might be interested in working with so that you can get to know them and make sure they feel like a good fit for you.

We also offer a personalized therapist-matching assessment with our Clinical Intake Coordinator to help you discover who on our staff might be the best-fitting therapist for your situation. You can line up this complimentary assessment by calling or texting or by sending a message.

If it turns out none of the staff at Evergreen Counseling aren’t an ideal fit, we’ll happily provide you with a few referrals to colleagues who might be.

no words make me more upset than "you live in america, speak english." my great-grandparents were forced to assimilate and now a century later the same bullshit keeps getting pushed on folks... i felt so much joy in high school when all the asian kids across different cultures realized they all never spoke english that much at home, so they didn't need to speak english with their friends either. i feel so much joy when im just out at the grocery store and hear so many different dialects and languages, it's mostly spanish i think, and that's just good. and now im jealous. i wasn't born to be monolingual. im mourning something that was taken from me decades before i was even born. im supposed to know italian, i was supposed to be at least bilingual, and now im stuck monolingual throwing myself at language learning resources as an adult, desperate to try to wrap my brain around something that should have been there since before i spoke my first words. and its a slim chance i'll actually be able to walk along side someone and have a conversation in anything other than english, at least for a long time, because its not just knowing another language that i need, its speaking it, not as an exercise, but in mundanity.

i wasnt supposed to be monolingual, and now im struggling to fix that as an adult

#vent post #this literally brings me to tears #i hate xenophobia i hate assimilation i hate being monolingual #things i should say in therapy instead of on tumblr #if anyone comes into the notes to say ''uhm actually its ableist to say that being monolingual is wrong'' fuck off this isn't about YOU #this is about my language skills and mine alone #im desperately grabbing at something trying to just know one other language it doesn't even need to be italian #okay maybe this is about some weird family trauma i have about knowing some distant heritage that i dont feel like i can connect to #and language being the vector that im expressing that #and how that makes it challenging for me to form an identity without feeling like a dumb white kid whose culture was sterile and homogenous #im supposed to be asleep but instead im crying about some shit my greatgrandfather internalized and repeated from some bigots a century ago #i dont even know if i magically knew italian tomorrow if that would fix these feelings because when would i even get to use it #besides online #its alienating its isolating its just making me feel like crap #okay im going to end the post here goodnight

I had to skip therapy this week and I’m handling it really well. I’m definitely not filled with a sadness and rage that threatens to consume me whole.

#and I ate some hushpuppies #don’t worry. I’ve got therapy again in uhhhh January #I feel so stupid and selfish complaining about it but I really kinda needed that little 1 hour outlet to vent to someone I trust #but uh…. god it sounds so stupid and trite to say ‘hey I’ve been thinking a lot about killing myself lately’ but uh ‘hey…’#and I don’t want to complain about specifics on here because that’s annoying for people #my birthday is Sunday and my mom is still in the hospital not doing well and I’m just… done with everything #I’m ready to be done #but I’m too full of worry about my family after I’m gone.#and I frustratingly always hold on to things long after they’ve gone rotten. my life included.#maybe if I hold on things will improve. probably. but that’s a future issue and I’m here living now #to me. for me. it feels disingenuous to post online about being self destructive.#so I guess… I’m just upset 🤷🏻‍♂️ but when am I not?#it was a long. frustrating. terrible day.#it’s whatever #you can ignore this #text

#personal vent incoming to just get off my chest don't be weird about it #i've known since i was a kid that my dad was overtly abusive but #just in the last 3-5 months i've learned my mom was and currently is almost just as abusive #but she's just covert about it instead #all of my adolescence was about surviving my dad who was so obviously a monster that he was almost easier to deal w in a way by comparison #this is. what an utter mind fuck #there's also like. no member of my family that i can turn to for help #bc they're either just as bad or my mother has ruined any relationship i might have w them over time #and i also fear being a burden #so i'm making a plan to get out but god it's overwhelming thinking about doing it all alone #and the thought that it might take years to actually get out or get healthy #she's kept me isolated from any support for so long #and im afraid any family that could possibly help wouldn't fully understand or they would be just as bad as her #and it feels impossible to progress at all bc im living w her and literally filed as her dependent on taxes #like ik this is gonna be the hardest thing to escape in my life and i've already escaped a lot #but this time i have to largely on my own #is v scary #and she's conditioned me to believe that i can't make any right decisions on my own without her #and that anything i do is always 'backwards'#makes it that much harder to make a clear plan #her work schedule is so inconsistent that it makes getting therapy online (since i don't have a license or car yet) nearly impossible #to do it without her or my brother listening #that i've just felt trapped for years #but. i can Tell i'm getting better now and rapidly. more than i've been for a v long time #so the process is just beginning and i think even she can tell #which is also dangerous #but ik i can do this its just the amount of time and effort and organizing behind her back and doing it alone thats v overwhelming #but anyway #we stay silly

so new highlight of my day: was talking to my therapist about hobbies and i mentioned tumblr (lol) and fandom and apparently she recently read a book that mentioned Bronies and asked me if I knew about them

#ramblings #i've never laughed as much in a therapy session as when my therapist asked me if i was a fan of my little pon #y #bc apparently she doesnt know much abt internet fandoms so she figured if i spend time in online fandom spaces #it might be worth a shot asking if it's that one #i haven't heard anyone talk about bronies since maybe 2014 or so but this was the highlight of my therapy session #(not so much the highlight were the 40 other minutes i spent crying abt family dynamics)#(but u know.. the brony comment made it all worthwhile)#(who needs to work on personal growth when they can explain 10+ year old internet phenomenons to their therapist instead)
