Family Therapy

Has your family experienced hardship, loss, or strain?  Do fighting and arguing tend to disrupt your family’s happiness?  Are you going through a separation or divorce?  Do you feel helpless, frustrated, and unsure of how to help your family thrive?

If the answer is “yes,” your family could benefit from some counseling – and I am here for you!

My name is Melonie Pinder, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based here in Lakeland, Florida.  My passion for providing psychotherapy to families began early in life when my own family was struggling, and I bring those insights to my work. 

I provide therapy to families from all over Polk County – people just like you – because every family deserves a second chance.

What is Family Therapy?

Family Therapy (also called family counseling) is just what it sounds like.  Family therapists (like me!) will invite all members to meet together, rather than individually, so that we can identify barriers to communication and foster trust and safety.  Our goal is to help your family work together, support one another, and solve problems as a team. 

Some of the most common problems addressed in family therapy include:

If your family is struggling, do not wait.  Family therapy is the gold standard of treatment for family issues because it truly works.  Your family deserves peace, happiness, and wellbeing – and together, we believe we can make that happen. 

How does Pinder Counseling do Family Therapy?

Here at Pinder Counseling, your family will meet together with your therapist of choice virtually. Each session is entirely confidential and specifically tailored to meet the family’s goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

We utilize techniques from Humanistic psychotherapy as well as CBT, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered.  These approaches seek to enhance your family’s strengths and hidden potential, rather than focus on what is “wrong.”  We believe that, with the right skills, support, and insight, you and your family can overcome whatever life has thrown your way.

Our CEO Melonie Pinder created Pinder Counseling because she believed each person deserved a chance to be their best self and live their best life. 

Together, we can make that happen.
