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.
