Family Therapy Little rock

The family is a system, much like the human body. Just as the entire body suffers when one of its parts dysfunctions or fails to work with the rest of the body, the entire family suffers when one of its members suffers or is "out of sync."

Although family therapy isn’t a new concept, it’s one that many of our clients aren’t familiar with. The idea of sharing one’s personal thoughts and feelings with other people can sometimes seem awkward or uncomfortable.

We find that when our clients experience healing and work through challenges together, they often find that the discomfort and awkward feelings are worth the renewed sense of togetherness and peace that comes from sharing.

A therapist can help the family become more aware of subtle dynamics that may be the source of persistent tensions and power struggles. At Behavioral Health Services of Arkansas, we accept most insurances including Medicaid.

Families often convey ideologies to their kids that are incomplete, overly negative, or fundamentally constricting. Individuals in a family may hold on to these self-limiting beliefs without even realizing they're doing so. Self-limiting beliefs learned early on often complicate many adult issues such as:

• Romantic Relationships
• Career Dynamics
• Financial Habits
• Self-Confidence
• Self-Esteem
  

They may also lead to a higher chance of mental illnesses like:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• OCD
• ADD
• ADHD
• Sexual Reactivity
• Anger Management
