The goal of couples therapy at Harmony Heals is to help gain insight and a better understanding of themselves and their partners, and to open lines of discussion and communication.

• Lack of communication
• Frequent or constant arguments
• Money and financial concerns
• Sexual Intimacy or lack thereof
• Dealing with In-Laws and extended family members

Family Therapy is a form of counseling that works with families to nurture change and development. Family Therapy tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. Family therapy views the family as an important factor in mental and emotional health. Regardless of whether the clients consider it an “individual” or “family” issue, involving families in solutions often benefits clients. This involvement of families is commonly accomplished by their direct participation in the therapy session. The team of family therapists at Harmony Heals have the ability to facilitate conversations in a way that help the strengths, wisdom, and support of the family system. At Harmony Heals, our Marriage and Family Therapists can work with every combination of family relationship to assist a family to function in more comfortable and useful ways. Another benefit of Family therapy is to give parenting skills and training to those parents wanting additional support and guidance. This can be done as part of the family therapy, and/or in separate parenting sessions. Some areas of focus for Family Therapy can be as follows:

• Anger Management for Parents

Acupuncture is believed to keep the balance between yin and yang, which allows for the normal flow of qi throughout the body and restores health. Qi is believed to help regulate balance in the body. It is influenced by the opposing forces of yin and yang, which represent positive and negative energy in the human body. There are several theories on how acupuncture works. One theory suggests that pain impulses are blocked from reaching the spinal cord or brain at various “gates” to these areas. Since a majority of acupuncture points are either connected to (or are located near) neural structures, this suggests that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system. A second theory suggests that acupuncture stimulates the body to produce endorphins, which reduces pain.

One of the first things our clients ask about acupuncture is, “Does it hurt?” Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and hair-thin, and they are not designed to cut the skin. The needles are inserted at shallow levels, generally no more than a half-inch to an inch depending on the type of treatment being delivered. Some people reportedly feel a sensation of excitement, while others feel relaxed. At Harmony, we have found acupuncture to be helpful for conditions such as: anxiety, stress, muscle tension, muscle fatigue, and general muscles aches and strains.
