What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a therapeutic modality designed to repair trauma, wounds, misunderstandings, and other disruptions in the family system. The goal of family therapy is to rebuild trust, restore family harmony, and reopen lines of communication.
In addition, healing relational trauma helps clients enhance their relationships outside the family.
There are many family therapy models and family therapy methods, including a category known as family systems therapy, developed by the psychiatrist Murray Bowen. Within that category, strategic family therapy addresses specific problems within the family system. Structural family therapy looks at the family as a system of relationships, behaviors, and patterns.
Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:
- Addiction/Partner Addiction Support
- Balance (Work/Life/Family)
- Blended Families
- Chronic Illness
- Divorce
- Extended Family
- Infidelity/Cheating
- Intimacy
- Mental Illness
- Pre-Marital/Readiness
