Family Therapy
Our family influences who we are and who we become. We learn our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.
Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Some common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- Behavioral or emotional disturbance of a child
- Communication challenges
- Divorce
- Domestic violence
- Gender identity issues
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
- Parent-child conflict
- Parenting difficulties
- Problems between siblings
- Sexual orientation issues
- Suicidal thoughts and/or self-harm
Family therapy is necessary to address family issues and heal a family’s wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonate with your family, consider seeking family therapy. Family therapy can be beneficial on many different levels.
Some positive family therapy outcomes are:
- Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
- Fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
- Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
- Builds empathy and understanding.
- Reduces family conflict
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
