If you feel that you, a loved one, or your family would benefit from therapy and would like to enter a space that is safe for you to unpack the underlying things that are causing pain while learning new skills that lead to personal growth, please contact us and we can schedule a meeting.
Individuals feel disconnected from their loved ones, their work and, most importantly, themselves when they experience trauma or abnormally high amounts of stress. They become anxious easily, they can be irritable, and they can relive traumatic events that can lead to life feeling completely unmanageable. Additionally, couples and families become 'stuck' when trauma, conflict, and other negative dynamics get in the way of vulnerability, communication, and the love that we crave from those close to us. Those caught in these painful patterns need support and the therapeutic process can be transformative.

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.
