Starting Family therapy in Franklin

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 Franklin, MA 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 Franklin, MA 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.

Franklin MA Family Therapy: Hope for Broken Relationships

We come into this world and immediately become part of a family. The structure and dynamics of this family will influence who we are, what we become and, overall, shape the pattern and direction of our life. Our family shapes our language, customs, ceremonies and the culture that we identify with.

Therefore, when disagreements occur between family members, the level of emotional pain can be very severe. And because one can not exchange family members, an individual who finds him or herself in a confrontation with a family member may feel trapped and helpless. They may often feel powerless to change the situation. Fortunately, family therapists can help us manage the difficult dynamics and conversations with our families. Reach out to Thriveworks Franklin today to get started.

How Can Family Therapy Help?

That is why seeking the help of a professional therapist may be wise in these situations. A trained family therapist or counselor can help identify unhealthy dynamics or patterns of relating within the family structure. While helping to correct this, a family member can also be supportive and seek to meet the needs of each family member. The family therapist offers families a way to adjust unhealth patterns and develop or maintain healthier, more functional ways of relating.

What Does Family Therapy Address?

Family therapy deals with intimate relationships and involved analyzing the dynamics between those relationships, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, seeing where current dynamics and patterns are hurting members of that relationship and offer alternative structures or systems that can bring resolution and healing to those relationships. Family therapy also sees the family unit as an important part of an individual’s cognitive and emotional well-being.

There are different types of family therapies. But what they all have in common is a belief that, regardless how the presenting problem originally developed or whether family members consider the problem to be an individual or group issue, involving other family members in the resolution of the issue often benefits everyone involved to contributes to long-lasting results.These results are accomplished through the direct participation of the affected family members. A trained family therapist will have the skills to lead discussions in a way that focuses on the strengths, wisdom, and support of the wider system.

What Techniques Are Used in Family Therapy or Counseling?

Family therapist come from various schools of therapeutic practice and utilize a wide variety of methods and techniques. Types of therapies used may include:

  • Cognitive Therapy
  • Behavior Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Interpersonal Therapy

The types of treatment used, and the techniques employed will depend on the specific problems presented by individual family members or the group dynamic of the family as a whole. For example, behavioral and/or emotional problems in children are common reasons to visit a family therapist.
