Family Constellations is a type of group therapy that works with your unique family patterns being represented and included in the picture. You experience a 3-dimensional “feel” to a problem that may have been previously inaccessible or perhaps not understood.  One of the major pioneers, Bert Hellinger, spent years learning about the habits and psychology of people and then applied his knowledge and developed this widely used form of therapy to help people, systems, businesses, families and organizations all over the world.  The theory explain that unresolved family patterns and dynamics can lead to relational and individual symptoms depression, anxiety, ADHD, panic disorders, perfectionism, mood disorders, family conflict, communication problems, patterns of avoidance, dissatisfaction or a felt sense that you just haven’t been able to move on with something in your life.  Constellations and therapy begin working to uncover those previously hidden aspects of life and create the potential for change.

Please know that during groups there is no pressure to start your work immediatly; you are welcome to attend and simply observe, ask questions and get a better understanding.  After observing the group, most people quickly welcome the opportunity to share. Groups are intended to create and sustain the therapeutic space necessary to facilitate the work of the person doing the constellation.  The facilitator works with both known, and unknown dynamics as part of the bigger picture.  The group comes together to support you and your process through it all.
