Challenges in our adult lives are often caused by challenges in our relationships. A specialist can help you navigate emotions, hurts, communicate better and create a new positive cycle of love and security around you. Children's stages of development can be confusing. Is it developmentally normal or a behavior I should worry about?

Adolescence is a time to explore identity. Therapy helps to identify healthy coping strategies and encourages an active role in problem-solving. Behavior issues, developmental issues, learning issues, all these can make being a parent incredibly challenging. Parent Coaching can help you gain insight into your child's behavior, your own parenting style and to develop useful tools that create effective solutions.

Marlon Familton opened Collaborative Couples & Family Counseling, LLC in 2008 after graduating from Bastyr University / LIOS with an MA in Applied Behavioral Science. Now at Bellevue Family Counseling, he specializes in working with adults on relationship issues, driven by the belief that the desire to feel safe and secure in a loving relationship is one of our primary purposes in life.
At Bellevue Family Counseling, we come to work every day because we love what we do. Our clients trust us with some of the most important parts of their lives: their marriages, children, their hopes and dreams. We are grateful for and value this trust. If you decide to become a Bellevue Family Counseling client, we promise to bring compassion without judgment, support, and guidance to point you in the right direction.
Teletherapy or online counseling is simply having a session with your counselor over the phone or video. You receive the same type of service in teletherapy or online counseling as you would in person. Bellevue Family Counseling can provide teletherapy or online counseling and coaching no matter where you live in Washington State.
If so then the deal is, I will consider and care how you feel and make decisions with you, so we both feel good. If you do the same for me, then we'll be great! When things don't go well, and you end up feeling hurt, alone or rejected. These hurt feelings must be repaired quickly. If there is no repair, the hurt can fester into "you don't care how I feel, I don't trust you to have my back."
If this weren't true, you would meet people who are actively seeking more sadness or anger in their life. Unfortunately, happiness can be quite elusive and even seem far beyond what is possible or what we deserve. This is where it becomes difficult and life can spiral. Navigating life means managing what we need to do in order to survive with what we want to do to be happy, assuming we even know.

My girlfriend and I felt that our relationship had fallen into a crevasse, and we did not know how to climb out. She had been seeing Marlon's wife Leah for Parent Coaching and was REALLY impressed, so we decided to see Marlon for Couples Therapy. We left our first session with a 100% improved outlook on the relationship, feeling so much closer and with communications tools to see us through future problems. We felt like he really understood us individually, what was important to us, as well as the negative relationship patterns we had fallen into. We have since been back for follow-up and will

We had a pretty bad experience with Marlon Familton recently! I thought that he was very judgmental, and he was not helpful for improving our communication problems! He didn't care about our special situation and talked to us about other unrelated things instead. Basically, it was just a waste of time and money!

I've had depression problems since I was a teenager due to my abusive home life and have gone to many many therapists throughout my life.... I'm now in my sixties and I have to say out of all of them Marlon has been the most understanding and knowledgeable as to what types of treatments to use to help me move ahead and live a much happier life. I wish I could clone him. He cares so much and wants to help people. His intuition and ideas on how to solve issues is unusual. I'd highly recommend him to any of my friends and family.
