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 , IN 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 , IN 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.
Even the most picture-perfect families struggle with conflict from time to time. Take the iconic Full House family for example. Tight-knit family unit, family meals around the dinner table, group hugs, and pep-talks for any problem that might come up. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? However, we all know that D.J. and Stephanie often got into tiffs and Danny, Jesse, and Joey weren’t innocent either. That’s because no matter how hard we try to avoid it, those we hold near and dear to our hearts seem to know just what button to push to get us worked up. When resolving conflicts, communicating, and problem-solving becomes too hard to do on your own, working with a family therapist can help.
We’re still a family and right now is when we really need to stick together. So, it’s up to you… but nothing is going to break up this team.” – Danny Tanner
Family therapists specialize in helping family members work through any of their issues and strengthen their bonds again. At Thriveworks Indiana Counseling, our family counselors have the skills, training, and experience to help families talk through and resolve their challenges. If you are looking for compassionate, dedicated mental health care in Indiana, reach out to our office. Let us help you get started.
Whether or not you’ve sought out therapy before, it can be intimidating to start. It’s tough to admit we need help, especially when it’s in a group setting. We want you to know that there is no shame in reaching out. Our therapists provide a safe, unbiased environment for you and your loved ones to talk openly about your struggles. We will do everything we can to provide you with the guidance and tools you need to improve the harmony in your family unit. There are many different issues that we help families with, including:
These challenges don’t have an easy-fix or magic wand that can wave and quickly make life easier. But with time, empathy, and humility, families can learn to work together again. Online therapy can be a great option for families because of its ease and convenience. You and your family can choose between telephone counseling or video chat counseling. Both options are proven effective and you are more than welcome to switch between the two. We understand how busy everyone’s schedules can get. Online counseling makes it easy to speak with your psychologist when and where makes the most sense for the whole group.
A lot of times, the cracks and gaps in the relationships with your family members exist because of the needs and challenges of individual members. While illnesses like anxiety and depression affect a single person, the struggles and challenges they face can affect the entire family dynamic. Because our counselors understand this, they will assess each family member during the beginning stages of family therapy in order to create a custom plan of action that fits your needs. When families understand each member, they may begin to work together.
The goal of family therapy is interdependence. Each family member should feel respected, understood, and supported. Family therapy can help you achieve things like:
Better communication skills, a more comprehensive understanding of each other, effective problem-solving techniques, mutual respect, learning coping mechanisms, better stress and anger management techniques, build greater empathy and trust, and how to actively listen to one another.
When the right support and guidance is provided, you can achieve great things. Don’t let the turmoil and conflict at home to prevent you and your loved ones from having a strong, safe relationship. Whether there are old conflicts that are going unresolved or there is something more current standing in your way, let us help you overcome them and give you the tools to move forward in a happier and healthier light.
