family therapy
Family therapy offers a chance to explore emotional and relationship issues as an interrelated group. Family members have the opportunity to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors alongside one another and process how that impacts the family system. In therapy, families work to better understand each other and work collaboratively on issues such as communication, conflict resolution, and intergenerational trauma. Other reasons to seek family therapy might be due to parental divorce or separation, the birth of a new sibling, a death in the family, adolescent issues, or a new family configuration. The family therapist focuses on cycles of interaction between family members, highlights strengths and resources that already exist, hears everyone’s point of view, and sets a goal for therapy.
