Family together at sunset

Family Therapy

Family sessions can have a lot of material to unpack, so the start of therapy will focus on getting a very clear picture of the family’s needs. Commonly, each individual might view the problem as being someone else’s. Our role starts by building the understanding that no one person owns “the problem” and everyone can take responsibility to becoming part of the solution.

A benefit of working together as a family system in therapy is that it allows for consistency in the direction of growth and change as a unit. Often the goal of therapy is not necessarily to solve everything, but the assist families in building enough skills and understanding to be able to draw on their own resources.
