Blended family counseling FAQs

What is blended family counseling?

Blended family counseling from our therapists at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA helps families who have come together through marriage work through changes, accept differences, ease tension, and form bonds. It enables parents to set boundaries and expectations around finances, parenting, and other areas. In addition, it offers all family members a safe space to voice their thoughts and feelings.

How does blended family counseling work?

Blended family counseling will likely involve attending sessions as a group, but it might also involve individual sessions with each family member. It works by encouraging the group to share any emotions, concerns, or challenges they might be experiencing, as it relates to the family, and then offering tailored solutions.

Is blended family counseling conducted in person or online?

Blended family counseling at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does blended family counseling last?

Blended family counseling from one of our providers at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA can be short- or long-term, lasting for weeks, months, or years. The length is dependent on the family’s areas of concerns, whether they’re more immediate or they’re more complex. Together with your therapist, you can determine how long you should plan on attending therapy for best results.

Bringing Two Families Together: Common Challenges

There is no blueprint or mold or formula for blended families. Therein lies much of the challenge and the beauty of blending a family. For two families to come together as one, roles must be clarified and challenges addressed so that each family member feels loved and is free to love. Often, the kids and adults in a blended family face common problems on the way to this goal.

Common difficulties for couples who are blending their families:
Forming a new partnership or marriage is difficult on its own, but in blended families, couples do this while leading their family through the process of change. The couple sets the tone for the whole family, and they have many decisions to make. Each partner will have to decide what parenting role they will take. If they will not be actively parenting each other’s children, then they will need to clarify what their role will be. If they will be parenting together, they will have to establish their own, unique parenting style. Couples will also have to figure out how to relate to each others’ ex’s and the in-laws. There are a number of relationships that need to be established.

Common difficulties for kids who are in a blended family:
Adults have a lot of change to navigate in a blended family, but so do children. Anything new in a child’s life can feel stressful, even positive changes. Kids often have the least power to affect change as the family blends. Further, they are often grieving. They may be grieving the loss of a parent to a move or to a death. They may be adjusting to the loss of a school or home. Kids may be adjusting to the rules at one parent’s house and different rules in another parent’s home. They may also be getting used to new siblings or a new birth order (no longer the baby or the oldest). All these changes can come with big emotions: frustration, sadness, grief, anger, and more. These big feelings can overwhelm an adult, much less a child.

Geneen is an absolutely wonderful therapist. She is extremely genuine and creates a safe non-judgemental space in our sessions. She is very patient, kind and wonderful at assisting in problem solving. She is a very active listener and demonstrates unconditional positive regard. She has great communication skills. As a retired therapist myself, I could go on and on about just what a great therapist she is.

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks
