Family Counseling
Family therapy provides a process that heals by exposing fear and allowing love to guide.
When family relationships are damaged by lack of communication, disorder, and conflicts, you and your family do not feel safe together even though you interact with each other. Instead of having an environment haunted by fear, annoyance, impatience, and conflict, choose to rebuild the family to be filled with love, empathy and emotional safety.
The Impact on Children
A widespread problem of damaged family relationships is when children live in a state of fear in the home. Children feel lost, confused, and without a sense of belonging. Feelings of fear result from changes in the family, such as death, divorce, marital problems, parent-child conflicts, sibling conflicts or other issues that are never addressed or resolved.
Whether from physical, mental, or emotional strains, children lose trust in the family unit. Instead of strong relationships with loved ones, their family bonds are undeveloped and destroyed. These affects can last a lifetime, spilling over into their adult life. The child's ability to communicate effectively deteriorates along with their confidence of safety. Instead of the child having a loving and healthy childhood, they live a life of conflict and isolation.
Finding a Safe Haven with Family Counseling
The opposite of fear is love. You cannot be in a place of fear and love at the same time.
Family Counseling with Heavenly Counsel focuses on building strong, loving relationships rooted in Empathy. We create a safe place where family members learn how to better share their thoughts with effective communication and manage their emotions to resolve conflicts.
Our goal is to build healthy relationships and individual connections that allow self-expression, reestablished confidence in the family unit, and improved communication among each other. We do this by providing family members with the tools and emotional support to remove judgment, destructive thinking and irrational decisions.
Heavenly Counsel is unique in helping families get actual results because we understand that Empathy is a significant part of the effective connection. Through empathy, family members learn to experience what others are feeling without going through the experience themselves through the implementation of the 5 levels of communication. New perspectives help family members understand and trust one another.

Military Family Counseling
Military family counseling helps service men and women and their families understand the demands of being in the military and helps them accept and deal with the true sacrifices they make. Challenges that a military family faces include infidelity, sacrifice, separation anxiety, and transitioning.
Military service is a huge sacrifice and an adjustment for couples and family members. The families of military service men and women make their sacrifices and must adjust, too; sometimes at a moments notice. The two main scenarios for their sacrifices are uprooting a family with multiple moves over the course of a military career or leaving behind a spouse or becoming a one-parent household.
Dealing with Transition
When the family lives in continuous transition where they move from base to base and start over, repeatedly, they are forced out of their comfort zones and their safety boundaries are destroyed.
Every family member is vulnerable because of continuous change, but the impact on children can be especially hard. Children of military families struggle with a sense of instability in their childhood lives and are challenged with developing healthy connections with others. It is difficult for the child to make friends and adjust to new schools. They are uncomfortable and often feel insecure and isolated.
The spouse also struggles with these same things.
The one reality military families tend to struggle most is learning to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
