Family Therapy

Definition:

Family therapy involves working with families as a whole to address communication patterns, resolve conflicts, and foster healthier relationships among family members.

Why People Seek It:

Families seek therapy to improve communication, resolve conflicts, navigate major life changes, address behavioral issues in children, or cope with the impact of mental health challenges within the family unit.

Target Population/Group:

Family therapy is designed for families facing various challenges, including parenting issues, sibling conflicts, marital discord, or adjustment difficulties related to events like relocation or divorce.

Self-Identification/Diagnosis:

Families may consider therapy if they experience persistent conflicts, breakdowns in communication, or if individual family members are struggling with emotional or behavioral issues. Recognizing patterns of dysfunction or distress within the family can be an indicator.
