Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. It is a type of treatment designed to help with issues that specifically affect families’ mental health and functioning. It can help individual family members build stronger relationships, improve communication, and manage conflicts within the family system.

Family therapy can help people with many different issues. Some of these include:

Family therapy is often short-term, but it may also take place for a year or longer, depending on the situation and needs of the family. While it frequently involves all family unit members, it may also focus on those who are willing or able to participate in treatment and contribute positively.

During therapy sessions, our highly qualified and professional therapists will ask questions to learn more about the problems that have brought the family to therapy. They will also look at other factors contributing to issues, such as underlying mental health conditions and environmental stress. Based on their assessment and findings they may refer any family member to another clinician when necessary for further health investigation to resolve the issue and get better results.

We encourage you to follow the treatment plan of your therapists to get the maximum benefit and best results.
