Families can be complicated and sometimes it can be difficult to navigate those complexities. A seasoned family therapist can be helpful when families find themselves unable to resolve problems.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- Divorce
- Domestic violence
- Parent-child conflict
- Conflicts between siblings
- Chronic illness
- Loss of a family member
- Life-cycle changes
Family therapy can help address family issues and heal a family’s wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonates with your family, consider seeking family therapy.
Some positive family therapy outcomes are:
- Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
- Improved communication among family members
- Better problem solving through understanding of family patterns and dynamics
- Increased empathy and understanding.
- Decrease in family conflict
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
