Therapy for Blended Families in {{lpg_city}} {{lpg_state}}

The term ‘blended family’ may not be familiar until you are in one, and you find out there is a term for it. You and your new partner may look for counseling before you move your families in together. You may also be considering adopting or have already adopted and are feeling the challenges of your new family.

Blended families today can include step-children and adopted children. It may also not be children from one previous marriage, but also from others.

In today’s world there is an integration of families in different ways, and it can take quite a lot of navigation and work! I chose to create a specific service when it comes to Therapy for Blended Families in {{lpg_city}} {{lpg_state}} resulting from my personal journey with my own blended family.
