Family Therapy
Our families can be massively influential to our identities and how we go about making sense of our world. Family can serve as a source of support, guidance, and joy. Unfortunately, our family lives can also be a source of stress, conflict, and emotional hurts.
Family therapy is a way to achieve healthier, more flexible family relationships. Family therapists have training and experience in treating a variety of issues that undermine the health of the family unit. They are also skilled at highlighting and maximizing strengths within the family.
