Do you feel like you've been trying on your own to improve or you simply do not even know where to start? Maybe you feel that it would help to talk with someone that is not part of your friends/family circles? It can feel overwhelming when your problems seem too big to figure out on your own. In counseling, you have a space to freely and openly discuss difficult topics and sort out and process all of life's difficult issues and come out feeling empowered and at peace.

As you have probably learned by now, life doesn't come with a road map. Life's journeys are uniquely individual! When you feel stuck, overwhelmed or seem to be going in circles, you've hit a boulder. Life transitions can be difficult, sometimes painful and tough to maneuver. They typically involve family relationships, career changes, peer interactions, or are related to loss, terminal illness, or caregiver responsibilities. Often, we experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, loneliness or fear; your not alone. Together, in a supportive, non-judgemental environment, we will explore and clarify these issues and underlying feelings.

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.
