Families are busy today managing children, jobs, and multiple schedules that leave little time for closeness and connection. Families can benefit from therapy when they experience a stressful event that may strain family relationships. Counseling for families can also be effective in treating mental health concerns that impact the family as a whole, such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and chronic illness, or everyday concerns, like communication problems, interpersonal conflict, or behavioral problems in children and adolescents.
Family counseling aims to promote understanding and collaboration among family members in order to solve conflict or communication breakdowns. As issues are explored and addressed an increase in closeness and meaningful connection is experienced. When the family system operates together to support the treatment, the positive changes are longer lasting. Struggles within a family are best addressed with the family as a whole.
