Families experience ups and downs. Maintaining family cohesion isn’t always easy. There may be life events that make being a part of a family stressful, such as financial issues, divorce, mental illness, and the general tasks of life. Family therapy is an excellent option for people wanting to address familial problems or family dynamics.
Available Treatment Options
In family therapy, counseling interventions that therapists use include behavioral interventions like modeling communication or parenting techniques and roleplays, where family members put themselves in the shoes of another family member. Interventions may also involve establishing boundaries among family members that allow the family to work better as a unit.
