About
Blended family counseling is a necessary tool for modern family life. Here’s a staggering but well-known statistic: Approximately 45% of all U.S. marriages end in divorce. Studies also show that remarriage is on the rise, with the vast majority of divorced singles eventually entering into a second union with a new spouse. Blended families face their own set of quirky challenges as two distinctly different family dynamics merge, or, perhaps more accurately, collide.
Research shows that blended families require at least two to five years before hitting their stride. Of course, in the meantime, there’s some pretty delicate and weighty emotional baggage to handle. Blended families often benefit from family (as opposed to Individual) counseling sessions, although it may be useful for parents to meet with the therapist individually in separate sessions to establish basics. It could also be helpful for a child who is having a particularly difficult time to have some additional sessions on their own. Regardless of the specifics, your unique family has unique strengths and struggles. Here at Lifeologie, we will help you and your family develop resiliency and communication skills to help navigate the tricky waters of ever-evolving relationship dynamics.
Common Challenges
- coparenting
- family dynamic integration
- parenting stepchildren
- separation anxiety
- merging two cultures
- navigating children's time between households
- new household rules/expectations
How does Lifeologie help?
Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.
When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.
Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.
Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.
Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.
Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
