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.

 

Typical reasons for seeking family therapy include:

• Divorce

• Parenting conflict

• Poor communication

• Issues with boundaries

• Grief or unexpected loss

• Adjustments to life changes

• Substance abuse within the family

• Eating disorders within the family

 

There are many positive outcomes from family therapy. Common family therapy outcomes include:

• Improving communication skills.

• Developing and maintaining healthier boundaries.

• Developing flexible problem-solving strategies.

• Foster empathy and emotional expression between family members.

• Resolving long-term or unexpressed family conflicts.
