Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that involves working with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. It addresses issues affecting the family system as a whole, helping members understand and support each other better to create healthier dynamics.

The process begins with encouraging open communication and empathy, allowing family members to express feelings honestly - which lays the foundation for resolving conflicts and building stronger connections. Sessions may involve the whole family or just those most directly affected.

Areas of Specialization

  • Conflict resolution in family therapy focuses on improving communication, understanding, and relationships among family members. Techniques like Structural Therapy, Bowen Family Systems, CBT, and communication training help reduce tension, address unhealthy patterns, and promote cooperation. 

    The goal is to create a more supportive, respectful, and connected family dynamic.

  • Treatment for cultural and multigenerational family issues focuses on understanding cultural values, family history, and generational dynamics. Approaches like Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Multigenerational and Narrative Therapy, and psycho-education help families navigate value differences and improve communication. 

    The goal is to foster respect, strengthen relationships, and create a more harmonious family environment.
