Common Methods Used in Family Therapy

If you are thinking about family therapy, it’s natural to wonder what to expect. Here are some of the services our mental health professionals use to help families achieve higher levels of wellness.

• Relationship counseling: Often, issues between parents can affect the entire family. This can include a lack of intimacy, communication issues, feelings of resentment, and more. Relationship counseling addresses problems between the parents to help the entire family move forward in a healthy manner.
• Family systems therapy: Systems theory holds that the individual parts of a system are largely informed by and inseparable from the larger system. In this type of therapy, clients explore how their behaviors are influenced by other members of the familiy and find solutions that accommodate the larger family structure.
• Narrative therapy: As we experience ups and downs in life, we tell ourselves stories about those events that help to create a sense of self-identity. Narrative therapy encourages family members to distance themselves from those stories, framing their experiences differently to help families reconnect in a more meaningful way.

Your marriage and family therapist will work with you to find a treatment plan that makes the most sense for you. Whether you’re seeking to resolve conflicts in a non-confrontational manner, form stronger bonds with your loved ones, or soften feelings of resentment, our licensed professionals are here to help.
