Help for Families in Dallas, GA—Family Therapy and Counseling 

The Johnson kids are always fighting. Older sister Jenna feels like her younger brother Kyle always gets their parents’ attention. She feels like no matter how hard she tries in school, in dance, and in sports, her parents don’t think she’s doing enough. Jenna’s parents, though, don’t realize this is how she feels. And they still don’t believe they are favoriting Kyle. They just don’t know how to please everyone. 

The Johnson family isn’t the only family dealing with a situation like this. In fact, conflicts and arguments are bound to happen. But when the conflict and turmoil turns into lasting arguments and potentially broken relationships, it might be time to seek out the help of a mental health professional. 

Some families are created in different ways, but are still in every way a family.” – Unknown

What to Do When Family Members Don’t Like the Idea of Therapy 

Unfortunately, not everyone in your family is going to be keen on the idea of starting therapy. It can be scary, especially when you’re airing out the closet full of difficult emotions you’ve been hiding from. When you are deciding it might be time to start therapy, like in the Johnsons’ case, facilitate conversation about why you think therapy would be a good option. Take this situation, for example. 

After Jenna went to her parents about the unfair treatment she feels she’s been receiving, her mom decided it might be time to go to therapy. However, Jenna’s dad firmly believes nothing is serious enough to talk to a therapist and makes up a bunch of excuses as to why he shouldn’t go. After some talking, he realizes it’s not about him; it’s about the family as a whole. 

What Family Therapists Can Help You With

Our goal is to help you get to the bottom of what’s going on, help you in overcoming those problems, and provide you with tools and resources to leave therapy feeling confident in your ability to work together. 

The family therapists at our location will also work to identify the problems that stem from an individual level.
