Family Therapy For Ontario Residents
You love your family, but that doesn’t mean that it’s always easy to coexist with them. All families fight or experience conflict, but disagreeing with your loved ones doesn’t have to cause pain, separation or strife. In families that are struggling, it’s the hidden secrets, the buried shame, and simmering resentments that leads to stress and anxiety. When you have a safe and supportive space with a family counsellor who can facilitate helpful communication and care, then you will be able to shed light on the areas of your family dynamics that are causing issues.
Integra Skills Counselling offers helpful insights, strategies and tools to assist with your family related struggles. Imagine learning to communicate and hear each other with love and understanding, rather than fighting or retreating. When you discover how to “stay at the table” and listen and share in an authentic, open way, an amazing, healing peace can begin to grow in the family.

Family Counselling For A Better Future
Sharing your family’s story and struggles with a counsellor might feel like an impossible task at first, but talking to a caring and compassionate person outside the family can actually help to provide a new perspective and insight into old problems and patterns. You’ll connect in new ways that provide safety, comfort and support, rather than anxiety or stress.
Parenting Support Is Also Offered
Our therapists can help you to find sustainable ways to face the enormous task of raising a human being. Parenthood can be amazing, and awful, in the same day, or even the same minute. There is far more to parenting than just feeding and keeping your child clean and healthy and we can offer support so that you stay on track with everything. We can help you to feel confident that you have the tools you need to do right by your child, while also taking care of yourself.
If you have a significant other or co-parent it is important to create a shared understanding between you on various issues. A counsellor can help with this around topics like differing parenting styles or household rules (which often deserve revisiting and revising!). This is a win for everyone, especially your child, or children. Knowing someone is there to listen, to help you to explore new ways to managing better as a family is an important form of self care for a parent, no matter what age your child is.
