Family Therapy

Through family therapy families can resolve conflict, improve communication, problem-solve together, and increase connection within your home. Healthy family attachments and relationships are vital to the well-being of children and their development.

When families learn to respond to and identify each other’s emotional needs, and differences, and work through difficult feelings, families are strengthened.

Family therapy includes opportunities to meet as a whole family, as well as individual appointments to address topics and issues that relate to your family’s growth and progress within your family system. Individual therapy with children or adolescents will involve a family therapy component as part of the treatment plan.

If you desire to improve strained family relationships, create deeper family connections, or improve communication, you can benefit from family therapy.

A family therapist:

• Teaches family members about how families function in general and, in particular, how
  their own functions.

• Helps the family focus less on the member who has been identified as ill and focuses more
  on the family as a whole.

• Assists in identifying conflicts and anxieties and helps the family develop strategies to
  resolve them.

• Strengthens all family members so they can work on their problems together.

• Teaches ways to handle conflicts and changes within the family differently.
