Family therapy involves the child or adolescent, their parents, and sometimes other family members working together with a trained therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit.
In family therapy, the therapist helps family members understand how their behaviors, dynamics, and interactions contribute to the challenges the child or adolescent is facing. Issues like behavioral problems, emotional struggles, mental health conditions, and family conflict can all impact the child or teen, and family therapy helps to address these concerns in a collaborative way.
At A Child's Mind, Family therapy centers around improving communication and creating healthier, more supportive relationships within the family system. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection, and work on practical strategies to foster understanding and mutual respect. A key part of the process is education—I provide tools and interventions tailored to your family's unique needs, helping each member understand their role in the dynamic and how small changes can lead to meaningful growth. Whether your family is dealing with stress, life transitions, or long-standing challenges, family therapy offers a structured, compassionate space to reconnect and move forward together.
