Frequently Asked Questions

When is family therapy relevant?

Family therapy is relevant for recurring conflicts, communication problems, when a family member has a mental health condition, during divorce, bereavement, or when a child is struggling. It can also help blended families find their footing.

Does the whole family need to participate?

Ideally, but it's not always necessary. Therapy can be adapted so different family members attend different sessions. Even changes in one family member can positively affect the entire family dynamic.

What is the difference between family therapy and couples therapy?

Couples therapy focuses on the romantic relationship, while family therapy includes children and possibly grandparents or other family members. Family therapy looks at the entire family system and the mutual influences between all members.
