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 Loveland, 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.
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 Loveland, CO 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.
All families share highs and lows as they move through life together, but sometimes the lows outweigh the high points. Unexpected life events, illness, and other issues can spark discord among family members or uproot family systems altogether.
Fortunately, you don’t have to break up the band or endure repeated screaming matches over Sunday dinner. If your family is struggling through a difficult period or having trouble seeing eye to eye, family counseling at Thriveworks in Loveland, CO, can help you all get back on track and restore peace within your household. Reach out today to get started.
There is no wrong time or reason to seek family therapy or counseling. Family therapists or counselors can help families resolve conflict or pull them from the depths of a major crisis. But they can also help you maintain and strengthen healthy, happy family relationships.
Some of the most common reasons people decide to pursue family therapy or counseling include the following:
Family therapy or counseling does more than resolve conflict and clear the air between family members. Group sessions can teach you and your family members how to better understand and accept one another, giving you tools to peacefully solve problems and maintain healthy relationships.
Any family member who is able and willing to participate in sessions is welcome at Thriveworks in Loveland, CO. Of course, there are times and circumstances when some family members can’t attend group counseling. Distance and busy schedules create some obstacles, but more serious issues like illness, disability, addiction, incarceration, or estrangement can also prevent entire family units from attending sessions together.

Family counseling can help you and your family members be more mindful and tolerant of one another’s differences.
