Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Bowling Green, KY usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Bowling Green, KY offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Family connections can be difficult to navigate when the atmosphere changes from one of respect and healthy communication to one of resentment and simmering hostility. These changes can happen for a multiplicity of reasons—and it can be difficult to not pass the blame or to remain open to reconciling when harsh words and behaviors cloud our judgment.
In times when it feels like the separation and differences between you and your loved ones can’t be changed, consider whether you and your family could benefit from the impartiality of a family therapist at Thriveworks in Bowling Green, KY. They’re a specialized type of mental health professional, and their professional insight and guidance could be the answer you and your family have been waiting for.
For those who aren’t familiar with family therapy, or therapy in general, it might feel a little invasive to think about sharing your private family life with a stranger. That makes sense if you don’t know the role that a family therapist actually plays during your sessions together. But in reality, family therapists aren’t interested in passing judgment or picking sides when it comes to resolving family disputes and boundary issues. Their main concern is keeping the family together as a whole, and highlighting the ways in which your shared bond with one another is so valuable.
