Therapy Options

Individual Therapy

Fathers’ UpLift Family Group has brought together a group of therapist who are servants with experience in helping fathers and their families navigate the challenges they encounter that is related to parenting, trauma, depression, anxiety and domestic violence. We provide guidance to fathers entering fatherhood for the first time and fathers attempting to re-enter their children and families’ lives after years of separation. Also, we understand the need for support in dealing with relational stress between parents who are couples.

Family & Couples Therapy

Central to Fathers’ UpLift Family Group’s mission is the belief in family. Our aim is to assist fathers and mothers with developing a plan to communicate with one another in a manner that is healthy for their families. We have come across great parents who have been hurt numerous times. Without the necessary support, their hurt prevents them from remaining emotionally available to their children. Fathers’ UpLift Family Group understands the vital roles fathers and mothers play in the life of a child. Our family therapy services offer parents an opportunity to be heard and supported in a safe and friendly setting. We are advocates, listeners, and servants who believe in the family. Through the use of innovative therapeutic approaches that accommodate traditional talk therapy such as Pre-Father Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and other Strength Based Approaches we are able to partner with families in their pursuit towards happiness.

Our clinical services aim to support fathers in every aspect of their lives.

Scholar Stephen Baskerville said, “The myriad of personal and social challenges often experienced by high-risk fathers are often felt to be insurmountable, and without a support system in place they give up altogether, becoming absentee parents. When this happens, the consequences ripple through society, but nowhere are they felt as hard as by the children left behind. Virtually every major social pathology has been linked to fatherlessness: violent crime, drug and alcohol abuse, truancy, teen pregnancy, suicide – all correlate more strongly to fatherlessness than to any other single factor.”

You Are Not Alone

In a clip from a special two-hour episode of “Oprah’s Life Class” on fatherless sons, a dad named Dwayne revealed exactly why he had been absent from the lives of his children:

“The reason I walked away is because, at the moment, I wasn’t the man that I wanted to be for [my kids] … I put them on a higher pedestal than I put myself. So, at a point, I wasn’t worthy to be in their life because I wasn’t the man that I would want for them.”
