Family Therapy
How Does Family Therapy Work?
Family therapy provides a safe space for family members to explore difficult feelings, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. Therapists facilitate discussions, encourage empathy and understanding among family members, and help identify and address harmful patterns of behavior. Family therapy aims to bring about positive changes in relationships and individual well-being by fostering support and leveraging each person's strengths.
The goal of family therapy is to help everyone in the family understand and support each other, particularly during times of overwhelming emotions, uncertainty, or repeating harmful behaviors.
This type of therapy can be especially beneficial when families are dealing with changes related to illness, mental health issues, substance abuse, unemployment, relocation, aging, divorce, trauma, and grief.
Our therapists employ various methods and approaches, including psychoeducation, and structural-strategic therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and therapy may vary in duration depending on the family's needs. Additionally, family therapists may conduct sessions with individuals and the whole family group as needed.
