Blended & Step Family Therapy

Today in America blended & step families are becoming increasingly common. A blended family can create many challenges, as children may have to adjust to different parenting styles, may experience stress due to visitations or conflict between their parents, between one parent and the other parent’s new partner, or with their step-siblings. Some children may resist changes, while parents can become frustrated when the new family does not function like they would have hoped it to. Blended family counseling incorporates parent coaching that helps you support and nurture your children, develop positive parenting skills, and create healthy boundaries that keep your relationship strong and secure. We are here to help blended families work out their growing pains and live together successfully.

Couples & Marriage Counseling

We provide couples therapy, to help you & your mate work through your relationship problems, which is often difficult for most people. Through couple & group sessions we help equip you with healthy communication skills and coping strategies to help manage distress in a productive way; this itself is often the cause of many interpersonal and marital problems. However, these can all be learned with experience and guidance. Through Couples & Marital counseling, we help you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship, plan your marriage, find balance, understand and solve communication problems, sexual difficulties, conflicts with child rearing or blended families, substance abuse, financial problems, anger issues, infidelity, or, in some cases divorce.

Substance Abuse

Almost 21 million Americans have at least 1 addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment. Substance addiction can have a devastating impact on one's educational, interpersonal, social, and vocational functioning. There are a number of causes related to drug and alcohol abuse, including psychological, biological, social, and physiological reasons. A family history of substance abuse can make a person more susceptible to use or addiction. Also social factors, such as peer pressure, availability, and stress can increase the likelihood of a person developing a substance abuse problem. Our goals here is addiction prevention, intervention, treatment, recovery support, and education. SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service that provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations.

Christian Counseling

Christian Counseling is the process in which a professional counselor uses the tools of the mental health profession, the truths of the Bible, and the wisdom of life experience to help you. It integrates traditional talk therapy methodologies with Christian belief practices by incorporating theological concepts. Our Christian counseling services draws upon psychology and Christian teachings, in its effort to combine counseling/therapy with Christian perspectives. Christian counselors understand that the Bible has a lot of practical wisdom about human nature, marriage and family, human suffering, and so much more. By using biblical concepts in counseling, they can sometimes provide specific direction and accountability. Both Christian counseling and therapy share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally.

Grief & Loss Counseling

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss—and the more significant the loss, the more intense your grief will be. Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle (sometimes quickly) through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges. Even subtle losses can trigger a sense of grief. For example, moving away from home, graduating from college, or job change. Everyone grieves differently. But if you understand your emotions, take care of yourself, and seek support, so you can heal.

Family Therapy

Family therapy (FT), also referred to as Family Systems Therapy, is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. Family therapy can help you improve troubled relationships with your spouse, children, or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family. It can help you and your family members better understand one another and bring you closer together.

Pre-Maritial Counseling

Premarital counseling helps partners improve their ability to communicate, set realistic expectations for marriage and develop conflict-resolution skills. In addition, many people go into marriage believing it will fulfill their social, financial, sexual and emotional needs — and that's not always the case. By discussing differences and expectations before marriage, you and your partner can better understand and support each other during marriage. The process begins with an assessment that helps the facilitator identify the couple’s strength areas and areas for growth. Those areas are worked on along with communication skills, family of origin issues, parenting, with discussing financial planning, budgeting, and establishing relationship goals.

Employment Strees

According to a Gallup poll, with global borders closing, workplaces shuttering and jobs being cut, workers’ daily stress reached a record high, increasing from 38% in 2019 to 43% in 2020. Work-related stress can dramatically affect your personal life and your mental, emotional and physical health and leave you feelings of disappointment and disillusionment. MFCCS goal is to help you better manage your employment stressors, speak up around your concerns mindfully, and develop healthy coping skills and work life balance. We offer a range of services, events, and workshops tailored to support participants’ job searches, to offer networking opportunities with potential employers and to connect to further training & employment opportunities.

Group Therapy

Group therapy involves one or more therapist who lead the group of roughly five to 15 clients. Typically, groups meet for an hour and half each week. Its also ok to attend individual therapy in addition to groups. Our psychoeducational and interpersonal process groups are designed to target a specific problems, such as anxiety, depression, Couple's group, chronic pain, and young adults struggle transition anxiety into adulthood.

Military Family Services

The number of families impacted by military service continues to increase every year. As a veteran myself, I understand the unique challenges of military families and military culture. Issues related to emotional and physical trauma, repeated deployments, post-traumatic stress, suicide, traumatic brain injury and substance abuse impact service members and their families. Here at MFCS we work hard to meet the growing need of service members who return from active duty and attempt to support them and their families as they begin acculturate back into their daily lives after service especially in a war zone. We also support those families that attempt to recover from the loss of their husband, wife, father, mother, son or daughter who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We truly thank those veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice! Please do not hesitate to
