Family affects who we are and who we become—for better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, habits, customs, and rituals from our families, along with how to view and understand the world around us.
Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Common issues facing families include:
- Divorce
- Parent-child conflict
- Problems between siblings
- Domestic violence
- Unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member
Family therapy is necessary to address issues and heal wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonates with you, consider seeking family therapy. It can be beneficial on many levels.
Family therapy helps by:
- Developing strategies to build and maintain boundaries
- Fostering a sense of cohesion and communication among family members
- Promoting problem-solving through a better understanding of family patterns and dynamics
- Encouraging empathy and understanding
- Reducing family conflict
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members struggling with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
