Family Therapy

In family therapy, a careful assessment is made of how individuals interact from a the perspective of their relationship (systems perspective). How individuals interact with one another (good or bad) affects how they feel about each other, which in turn affects their interaction.

Calgary’s Shannon St. Pierre is able to facilitate conversation between both parties by opening the lines of communication in a non-threatening manner. Often, it is the case that each individual needs to feel understood and cherished in their own unique way.

Recognizing the unique characteristics and traits each party has and cherishing these qualities builds good feelings about the other person. It is precisely these good feelings, which are needed to cultivate other good feelings such as intimacy (relational or sexual).

Shannon St. Pierre is a seasoned therapist who tends to work in a calm way, disentangling each piece of the problem so that a clear understanding can be attained of the issues at hand.

Good feelings are generated within the session so that these good feelings can be restored within their relationship. Shannon assists the client in gaining a greater sense of well-being, especially so that the client can begin to mobilize those things which strengthen them.  Some of the things which could be seen as strengthening could include; other people, involvement in the arts, time alone, a sense of family or maybe even religion. Throughout this whole process of “individuation,” clients can better make use of their gifts and/or more fully develop their gifts.

In anger management, clients are taught to get through their feelings of intensity so that they can regain respect for themselves and regain the respect of others.
