Family therapy FAQs

What is family therapy?

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.

How does family therapy work?

Thriveworks family therapists in Colorado, CO 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.

What is the most effective family therapy?

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.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

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.

What is included in family therapy?

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.

What is the success rate of family therapy?

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.

Is family therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks therapists in Colorado, CO offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does family therapy last?

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.

I appreciate Pierre's thoughtfulness and kindness as we go through our sessions. He is always prepared for the curves and sliders I throw his way, and when there are none, he is very capable of directing the conversation to help me keep toy goals with this therapy. I am ecstatic that Pierre is my therapist.

Megan Learned is incredible to work with. I’ve been to about 10 therapists and psychiatrists over the past 25 years, and none have come close to Megan. It’s her mix of expertise, intelligence, empathy, professionalism, honesty, and humor that is such a good fit for me. She reads my body language and listens to what I say before she responds, asks follow-up questions, makes recommendations, and “assigns” “homework” (and I love homework, so it’s great for me). She is flexible in that she observes what’s going on with me and adapts to what I need to discuss (rather than being stuck on what we may have planned to talk about in the previous session). Although therapy is hard work, she helps break down concepts and tasks into small, manageable chunks so that it doesn’t feel so daunting. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to work with Megan. I also appreciate how easy Thriveworks makes it to be a patient. You all have a great portal with an easily accessible and intuitive user interface. You all also work great with my insurance.
