The term “family counseling” is very broad and typically masks underlying issues that may be at the root of problems. There are often layers of problems and if it is a blended family situation the issues are compounded.
As counselors, we try to get answers to the following questions, as a minimum, in order to recommend the best approach:
- What are the perceived problems?
- What is the spiritual, mental and emotional condition of the parents?
- Are there behavioral strongholds such as anger, fear, depression addictions or pornography (typically called “issues”) that are present in one or more of the parents?
- What issues are the children presenting?
- Is there agreement on what a healthy family looks like? What are the areas of disagreement in terms of discipline.
Depending upon the answers we receive to those questions, and others, we are able to propose a ministry plan.
