Family Conflict

I have completed training to work with families and provided family therapy for over a year.

Life can become increasingly more difficult when the home becomes a hell. Family therapy can help untangle miscommunication issues, unhealthy boundaries, and overall dysfunction. I work with families with adult children navigate

One of the most challenging things to manage in life is divorce. Using systemic family therapy I specialize in processing the uncoupling of divorce, the peaceful, safe transition for children, navigating co-parenting afterwards, and the blending of new families. I specialize in protective techniques when dealing with high conflict individuals who continue to wage war post-divorce.

Family compositions are marked by changes and transitions over time. Often, an outside, neutral perspective can help shake things up in a direction of positive growth. My approach is collaborative and process-oriented, helping family members to better understand one another and discover new tools to tackle the changing landscapes of life together.

Inner child work may help those experiencing interpersonal conflict. Inner child work helps explore unprocessed childhood emotions and feelings that currently impact one’s life and understanding, managing, and/or reducing triggers. One desire for inner child work may be to identify wounded areas and/or unmet needs of the child, learn to advocate, protect, or show compassion for the child, create a safe enough space to invite the child to play, and integrate the child with the adult self.

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.

Life can become increasingly more difficult when the home becomes a hell. Family therapy can help untangle miscommunication issues, unhealthy boundaries, and overall dysfunction. I work with families with adult children learn to navigate how to have lifelong mutually benefiting relationships.

After extensive training in Bowen Family Systems theory, I am able to help patients work through complicated family dynamics and bring healing to those relationships. Work in this theory also focuses on developing a patients sense of self, giving folks a greater sense of well being empowerment.

Families are marked by periods of transition and change, which are often painful, intense, and have the potential to crack the foundation of solid relational grounding and connection. I collaborate with families to explore new meanings and make sense of challenges, to better hear and understand one another's perspectives, and to discover ways to move forward despite their shared problems. I lean heavily on systemic family therapy models to help families move toward growth and resiliency.

My training and experience are rooted in relational conflict resolution. I am comfortable with the whole family in the room, or with individuals needing support through asserting different boundaries with family. The theoretical perspectives that influence my work most are Structural Family Therapy, Bowenian Family Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

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

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the unspoken and agreed-upon relationship/marital norms. For many of us, couples who spent all day at work are now spending most of their time working from home. For many families, couples who are not privileged to work from home are coping with the stress of the added risk of contracting COVID-19. Many of us are also struggling with our family income being negatively impacted due to the pandemic.

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.

Families are complicated, and you deserve a space to process and sort out your thoughts and feelings. I help clients process emotions about family, set better boundaries, improve communication, strengthen coping strategies, and gain perspective.

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!

We help families get out of negative patterns of communication and get on the same page with things like parenting.

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.
