Child & Family Therapy
Sometimes, individual or couples therapy doesn’t address important issues – especially when it involves children and teenagers. In these cases, a family-centered approach may be most effective.
Child and family therapy involves working with family members to address how they interact and communicate with one another.
When families are facing particularly challenging situations, guidance from a specially trained therapist can help them understand how to navigate their particular circumstances and improve how the family functions as a unit. For example, when one member of the family is having a mental health crisis, it can place significant stress on all members of the family and strain formerly good relationships. This can lead to increased conflict in the household, problems at school and with friends outside the family.
The idea behind child and family therapy is to strengthen the family unit in order to better address a particular person’s challenges or concerns. We help the family to help the child.
