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 Long Beach, CA 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 Long Beach, CA 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.
When hurdles start to feel insurmountable, licensed marital and family therapists can help you regain a sense of stability and balance. They can identify the main problems your family is facing, help to open up lines of communication, and identify solutions to bring you closer together.
At Thriveworks in Long Beach, CA, our marriage and family therapists offer a combination of treatment and support to help restore balance to your family. Whether your family needs help communicating, resolving conflicts, confronting major behavioral issues, or something else entirely, we can customize a treatment plan or counseling program that is right for you.
Is your family fractured or struggling because of one or more of these issues?
Conflict is natural within family systems. Occasionally, it can even be constructive, helping to resolve issues and grow stronger as a result. But sometimes, arguments cut too deep, last too long, or seem impossible to settle. Life changes and stressors can become too much to handle on your own.
It’s frightening to feel this way but family counseling can help you find your way again. If any of the above issues resonate with you, consider making an appointment for family therapy at Thriveworks in Long Beach, CA.
Your mental health professional can offer strategies and therapies designed specifically for your situation. Typically, family therapy includes various forms of talk therapy or behavioral therapy to get to the core of the specific issues plaguing your relationships. Depending on your concerns and goals, you may learn to make progress in one or more of the following areas:
