My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is providing an inclusive and inviting atmosphere in which all family members will feel affirmed and heard in their unique perspectives. I enjoy family therapy because I have the opportunity to help family members better support and understand one another through effective communication and other research-based counseling techniques.
I teach the following tools in family therapy: active listening, boundaries, conflict resolution, reflective listening, problem-solving, debrief and deescalation, family systems therapy, structured family therapy, and many more.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when I observe the client applying skills that have been taught and the other family members state they have seen improvement or progress.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy through conversations and discussions outside of therapy, spending quality time with each other, self-reflecting, and applying skills that have been learned and taught in therapy.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, clients should clearly identify their main challenges or issues as a family and encourage each other to expect positive outcomes from the therapeutic process.
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 Memphis, TN 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 Memphis, TN 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.
Family therapy can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within your family. At Thriveworks Counseling in Memphis, TN, our experienced family therapists provide a supportive environment to address and overcome familial issues.
