What is family therapy?
Family therapy is a type of counseling that helps families deal with conflict mediation, communication, anger management, and other relational skills. It focuses on the family system, not just on individual family members.
When we address the root causes of mental health challenges by caring for the family as a whole, we can identify a more sustainable path to healing.
A critical connection
Family therapy can help family members better relate to each other, resolve difficult issues, and cope with big life challenges. It can also help you better understand your loved ones' emotions, behaviors, and problems. In focusing on the entire family system, obstacles can be overcome together.
The challenges family therapy can address:
Family therapy is a core component of our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and by supporting families as a unit, we provide the essential tools and skills needed to better understand, connect, and forge a path towards wellbeing.

Develop a method for troubleshooting family struggles and understand which skills to draw upon when new problems arise
