Family Counseling
A Center for Counseling has several licensed marriage and family therapists in our group to help work through family problems and help family members support their loved ones who are having difficulty. Family therapy is form of outpatient treatment that aims at reducing stress in the entire family system. It is not uncommon for one family member to be experiencing significant difficulty or a mental health issue that is also impacting the family at large. Family therapy may include all members of the immediate family, a few members of the immediate family, or, in some cases, it may include extended family members. In addition to helping to resolve problems in specific family members, family therapy also aims to identify and reinforce inherent strengths and resiliency in the family.
