SUPPORTING THE FAMILY AS A WHOLE

What do we mean by family systems?

At Embark Counseling Services, we know the value of how different systems impact the emotional and behavioral wellbeing of individuals and their families. This includes how previous generations have influenced attitudes, behaviors and interaction patterns within the family system. These influences predict how individuals establish expectations and boundaries, or implicit rules, individually and collectively, and influence adjustment during development, attachment styles and interaction patterns. Paying attention to the family system, supporting growth and healing for each individual and their interaction with various systems, provides the optimal environment for developing insight and change.
