"Bring Harmony to your family!" "You have to be Persistent to establish and maintain healthy, two-way communication. We can help"
The family is the most important unit of society. A stable family environment is
absolutely essential for the nurture of children. It is here that an individual
imbibes values and learns life skills. Family means affinity, oneness and co- existence
with love. It is about being bonded by the power of love. Knowing that it is all
for one and one for all. It is about forgiveness and patience. About freedom, understanding,
standing by each other when all else falls. It is also love, attachment & gratitude.
From time immemorial Indian society has promoted the joint family. And rightly so!
For whatever its disadvantages, the joint family provides an ideal environment for
bringing up children. The presence of a large, stable extended family helps children
pick up social skills and learn the art of harmonious and altruistic corporate living.
It is here that ethical and moral values are imbibed.
Such an environment produces good and stable human beings who are an asset to any
society because these individuals bring to society what they received within the
family.
We can safely aver therefore that society in the macrocosm reflects the family in
the microcosm.
In recent times the joint family has given way to the nuclear family. What once
was the joint responsibility of many individuals now rests solely on the husband-wife
pair. Added to this the extended family which functioned as a buffer to and arbiter
of conflicts is no longer available. Together with today's fast and furious life
style, change in values and man's greed and self-centeredness, we appear to be sitting
on a powder keg. And the signs are all there.
- Families are falling apart.
- The divorce rate is soaring.
- Domestic violence is increasing
- A high percentage of children need counseling
- Teenage pregnancies are becoming common and so forth
Having recognized the enormity of the problem and the need for urgent action, our
priority is to help the family overcome their differences and to promote cordial
relationship between the members so that the health of the family is restored.
Couple & Marriage Therapy
Marital or couple counseling is an effective approach to treatment when the well
being of a relationship is compromised by problems of communication and by the influence
of unresolved conflicts. Couples are helped to understand particular triggers to
deeper, underlying issues, to be able to more directly and productively express
their needs and feelings, and to respond to each other in a more loving and compassionate
way. The couple is helped to explore the beliefs and expectations each partner holds
for their marriage and that in some way may be contributing to the difficulties
they are experiencing. Couples can be helped to manage strong feelings so that conflicts
do not escalate in an unproductive, harmful fashion.
Couple therapy is a safe place to help facilitate communication between you and your partner. Therapy typically consists of face to face meetings between the counselor and the couple.

Family Therapy
Family therapy is a particularly useful mode of treatment when family dynamics and
functioning are problematic. In family therapy the focus is the family unit itself.
The family therapist works from an understanding that all parts of the family are
interrelated and that change in one area affects the overall functioning of the
whole. Many a times, when family members have difficulty, there are patterns of
interaction that have become destructive to the well being of the family. In working
with the family, it enables the therapist to address the problems of family members
by directly intervening the context in which the difficulties occur that reinforces
them. Interventions focus on addressing and modifying the obstacles which exist
in the family system, helping family members communicate with one another in a productive
way, and in helping them work together toward more effective problem resolution.
Stress Management:
Stress can affect you throughout your life. Children who are bullied at school suffer
enormous stress, and many older people carry the burden of caring for a sick relative.
However, it is stress at work that we hear the most about today. The main factors
increasing job stress appear to be the rapid pace of change and lack of control
over work. Whatever, the type of stress, our therapists help you manage stress by
responding in appropriate ways. An optimistic outlook helps people deal better
with stress.
Family Conflicts:
Family clashes are as varied as the people involved in them. The turmoil can result
from a workaholic husband, children who are a source of conflict, relatives, in-laws,
parents lack of consistent parenting skills, and property or financial interests.
We all see couples and families torn apart by verbal, emotional, or physical abuse.
Since wisdom from God is the greatest foundation on which we can build lives of
love and peace, we help you to set things on the right track.
Incest & Molestation:
Sexual abuse is a traumatic experience, but it doesn't have to ruin your life. Many
who have been willing or unwilling victims of incest or molestation have memories
which deny them the freedom to live freely without hate, bitterness, resentment,
and fear.We can help you get over the trauma and put your life back on the track.
Grief & Loss Treatment
The loss of a loved one is distressing for anyone, but some may find that the grief
will not go away or that they need some help to heal and move on. Grief and loss
counselling can help people deal with these feelings and find peace. There are many
different techniques of grief counselling and not every technique is appropriate
for everyone. After analysing an individual case suitable therapies are recommanded.
