Couple/Family Therapy

Family therapy emphasizes the family structure as a whole as well as the individual members. With the understanding that conflicts and problems may be rooted in the interactions and configuration of the family unit, therapy is designed to develop a healthier structure for all members of the family. Through exploration of family rules, roles, values, forms of communication, problem solving techniques, and shared purposes, families are helped to form a greater capacity for resilience both individually and collectively. Family members may choose to meet with a therapist individually or as a group.

Grace Point Counseling Center offers Christ-centered marriage counseling by our well-trained Christian Counseling staff. In order to help restore unity in the relationship we use a variety of techniques designed to heal the brokenness from an affair, addictions, family of origin issues, difficulties parenting, lack of intimacy, or simply neglect of the relationship. We assess physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual concerns that affect the relationship and help the couple identify the areas of concern in order to find healing. Using conflict resolution skills and communication skills we teach couples how to resolve concerns that have plagued their marriage for years.

Our staff accomplishes this marriage restoration in many formats including one hour counseling sessions, half day intensives, and all day intensives. We recommend the intensives for couples in crisis to get them started on a road to healing.

Your marriage does not have to be in crisis for marriage counseling. All marriages can benefit from help in understanding how to resolve conflict and communicate in an effective and healthy way or to assess your gifts and talents in order to best serve God.

Premarital counseling is also available and recommended for any couple who is planning on beginning a marriage journey together or wants to assess their compatibility. Many couples spend tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding and nothing on preparation for their marital relationship. Today half of marriages end in divorces that could have been avoided by making a small investment of time and money in preparation.

If we can be of service to you or your loved ones, please do not hesitate to call us. We believe God has a plan for your marriage to fulfill you and your spouse.
