Just as therapy can be helpful to an individual, it can also be very helpful to your family. Family therapy can often be combined with individual therapy to aid in the overall health of the individual and family unit.
During family therapy sessions, family interaction and communication as a whole will be explored. Sides will NOT be taken. We may act as a "mediator" and we will make comments and suggestions intended to help family members become more aware of patterns and toles within the family unit. We may also suggest that your family engage in role-playing or meaningful family activities to increase family cohesion and to develop increased awareness of family dynamics and communication. Our role as a therapist varies depending on your family's dynamics and unique needs. The goal of family therapy is to help family members improve communication and dynamics, mange problematic behaviors, increase awareness and family cohesion, solve family problems, understand and handle special family situations, and create a better functioning home environment.
