Family Therapy

Family therapy focuses on the family as a whole and works toward creating a family environment that is more stable and peaceful.

Family therapy has been successful in many different situations, including:

  • Addiction or mental health condition
  • Children with behavior or school problems
  • Death in the family
  • Family relocation
  • Life-threatening or chronic illness
  • Military deployment or extended absences
  • Parent-child conflict
  • Parental conflict
  • Sibling rivalry

Family therapy can also be useful before problems begin, for instance, before blending families as a result of marriage.

Family therapy is active and solution-focused. Your therapist will help you explore your family’s ability to solve problems and express thoughts and emotions. You may discuss family roles, rules, and behavior patterns that contribute to the conflict and outline ways to work through these issues. Your family will learn how to best support one another and develop patterns of relating that foster a sense of understanding and togetherness.
