Relationships within a family unit can be challenging, especially as children grow up or if a traumatic event has occurred. That’s why families in the Juneau, AK, area turn to Sondra Sexton-Jones for family counseling. As a licensed therapist known for her expertise in family and grief counseling, Sondra focuses on offering judgment-free, professional therapy.

Here are three ways family counseling can help your household: 

• Provides A Comfortable Setting To Talk Openly: Oftentimes, parents and their children struggle to communicate. It’s a natural part of growing up. If there are arguments or if your child is acting out or demonstrating signs of depression, family counseling is an excellent opportunity to talk openly and freely with one another in a comfortable setting.
• Helps You Address Issues Head On: With busy schedules, it’s easy to run out of time to sit down as a family and talk about what’s going on. If your child is behaving poorly or if there is constant fighting within the household, family counseling provides an opportunity to address issues head on with the help of a trained professional. Talking through issues together can help improve the family dynamic.
• Gives You A Third-Party Opinion: It can be challenging for children to discuss sensitive issues with their parents at home. Having access to a caring and objective adult may provide the perfect window for your child to feel at ease opening up about personal feelings or problems. 

If you live in the Juneau area and you’re looking for family counseling or therapy to help improve your relationship dynamics or emotional well-being, call Sondra Sexton-Jones today at (907) 586-3313 to schedule your first session.
