When A Broken Family Tries To Live Life

When a broken family comes in for psychotherapy, I anticipate a lot of challenges ahead.

Having a broken family isn’t as odd or “strange” as most people think it is.

With a toxic family dynamic, the broken pieces of the family may take years to heal if ever at all.

In this live chat, I discuss the psychology of the broken family.

Innovations In Counseling Part 6 Session 8 from NBCC Foundation on Vimeo.

I remember doing this training with the #NBCC 2 years ago which led to my #keynote speech at the Bridging The Gap Symposium.

It’s sad to say that nothing has really changed in our #mentalhealth system for people of color of ALL ethnicities. We continue to struggle with access to services, especially during this time of year. It’s important we learn about the gaps so that we can fix it.

I founded and designed AnchoredInKnowledge.com in 2009. I knew that I wanted to help people learn what they didn’t know but didn’t know exactly how. After graduate school and landing an internship in a teaching hospital, I updated this website with the intention of marketing my services to only children and adolescents.

Over the past 10 years of consulting with parents, families, and caregivers and treating suffering young people internationally, I realized a strong need for navigation through the muddy waters of the mental health system. During the same time I became certified in trauma therapy. This is when I developed Anchored Child & Family Counseling.

Through the counseling relationship I strive to walk with my clients through tough times, help them explore what their challenges mean to them, and motivate them to find the faith, purpose, and peace to survive.

I am a licensed and Board certified mental health therapist working with psychological trauma, self-harm, and suicidal teens including angry, oppositional, or anxious and depressed youths.

When I’m not working with kids I am helping confused and stressed parents, families, and caregivers navigate relationships, grief, loss, and the mental health system.

I bring both personal and professional experience with challenges of living and I combine these things in my work.

I hope this practice serves as a starting point and resource for you.
