As people facing life's challenges, sometimes we need help. We may find ourselves stuck, confused, frustrated, not knowing what to do. Counseling is one way to help ourselves as we make changes, face transitions, or answer the questions life throws at us: Why don't I feel good? Should I relocate? How can I stop worrying? How can I get rid of this stress? How can I make this decision? How can I get along with my family?

You’re arguing with family and friends more than usual. There have been changes in your life… some expected, others unexpected. You don’t know how to cope. Even when you think you’re doing okay, the memory of a past mistake or situation makes you doubt yourself. Or has your relationship been stuck in a cycle of dysfunction as constant arguments, long stretches of silence where you and your partner go days, or even weeks, without speaking to one another. You’re becoming roommates - simply coexisting in the same space but not really having meaningful interactions.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
