Azevedo Family Psychology, PA

Welcome to Azevedo Family Psychology, where we are dedicated to helping you understand life's challenges and transform them into celebratory moments. Led by Dr. Don Fernando Azevedo, our team employs a solution-focused, evidence-based approach to help adults, couples, and families learn and use the skills that will help you create a life worth celebrating.

Understanding Life's Challenges

The first step in the change process is understanding the stimuli and setting events that trigger behaviors in us, leading to undesirable outcomes. By bringing to awareness these unconscious behavioral habits, we can make new choices, retrain our automatic reactions into thought-filled responses, and ultimately achieve the outcomes we want.

Learning New Skills

Once we understand our automatic, habitual responses to situations or stimuli, we may realize we don't have any other responses for the situation. This is where learning new skills and practicing them in a safe environment comes into play. With practice, good feedback, and support, we can hone new skills and replace old habits with new choices.

Transforming Your Life

With time, effort, practice, support, accountability, and safety, old habits can be changed into new choices. Over time, those new choices will transform your life into the one you want and can celebrate. At Azevedo Family Psychology, we offer various services to help you achieve this transformation.

Adult Services

Adulthood can be a trying period of life, with society expecting us to have it all together. At Azevedo Family Psychology, we understand that adults face unique challenges and struggles. We offer services tailored to help you navigate these periods, whether it's young adulthood, mid-life, or any stage in between.

*Young Adulthood*: During this period, people generally struggle with the path out of high school to independent living. Our services can help you make informed decisions about education, careers, companionship, and other aspects of young adulthood.

*Mid-Life*: As people enter mid-life (ages 35 to 55), they often start questioning what they have done with their lives and if this is really what they want. Our services can help you navigate these questions, strengthen marriages, manage career transitions, and care for aging parents.

Relationship Services

Humans thrive in companionship, and building and maintaining strong relationships is vital to our well-being. At Azevedo Family Psychology, we offer various relationship services to help couples and families at any stage of life, including:

*Premarital Counseling*: Prepare for a successful marriage by understanding each other's expectations, communication styles, and conflict resolution strategies.

*Discernment Counseling*: When faced with the possibility of separation or divorce, discernment counseling can help couples weigh their options and make informed decisions.

*Marital Therapy*: Strengthen your marriage by addressing communication issues, conflicts, and other challenges that may arise in your relationship.
