Starting Blended family counseling

What is blended family counseling?

Blended family counseling from our therapists at Thriveworks in Charlotte, NC 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 Charlotte, NC 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 Charlotte, NC 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.

What Is Blended Family Counseling?

Blended family counseling involves therapy aimed at addressing the specific dynamics and issues that arise in stepfamilies. Our licensed therapists in Charlotte, NC, are equipped to help families integrate and develop strong, healthy relationships.

Challenges for Blended Families

  • Challenges for the Kids: Children in blended families may face stress from changes, grief from a parent’s marriage ending or a parent’s death, confusion over different household rules, and uncertainty about the role of a new parent. These emotions can lead to behavioral problems that are tough for both children and parents.
  • Challenges for the Adults: Adults in blended families must navigate establishing their relationship while also setting the tone for the family. This can involve learning new parenting skills, balancing the needs of the children with their own, and managing relationships with ex-partners and in-laws.

How Blended Family Counseling Can Help

  • Improving Communication: Learn effective ways to express thoughts and feelings within the family.
  • Building Trust: Develop strategies to foster trust between all family members.
  • Navigating Relationships: Gain skills to manage relationships with ex-partners and integrate new partners into parenting roles.
  • Coping with Emotions: Help children and adults process strong emotions healthily and reduce behavioral issues.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

Krystal made my first session very comfortable and welcoming. Her goal is to get the best version of yourself she can. I can’t thank her enough for saving my life when I didn’t even know how desperate I was to be saved. HIGHLY recommend her services.

My Therapist Sara M. is an amazing Therapist. She is an excellent listener, coach, and is very attentive to the needs of the patient. I was able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to connect with prior therapist. I am truly grateful to have found Thrivewoks and their referral to Sara M.
