Participating in family therapy is one of the most effective ways to address concerns related to your family system.  Children are a part of this family system so family therapy is often instrumental in helping your child or adolescent find the strength, support, and coping skills necessary to overcome potential difficulties.  Family therapy may include only the members willing to participate or it may include all family members.  The recommended treatment plan will be dependent on the issues presented during therapy and an overview of the unique dynamics of the family.  Family therapy is helpful in providing invaluable skills to deepen family connection through increased understanding and better communication, which will help your family survive stressful times.
