Family Counseling
Family therapy is a very broad name for therapy involving many possible situations. Generally, family therapy is meant to help families communicate better and learn to work together through conflicts.
Some people view counseling of any kind as a sign of weakness. They think it’s not for them, and that attending family counseling is tantamount to admitting that they’ve failed as a parent. That’s certainly not true, and many families who are now happy didn’t always start that way. It’s important for everyone to realize that seeing a family therapist is a perfect opportunity to grow.
If your family is suffering through a trial where members are feeling stress, grief, anger, guilt, depression, or any number of feelings that are causing a loss in mental wellness; family therapy could be a blessing to them. Even if your family is just seeking better communication, Family Therapy can help.
