Most people turn to therapy when they can’t resolve problems or conflicts spiral out of control. You may decide it’s time for therapy when family members:
Sometimes, families find themselves being controlled by one person demanding everything be done their way. When these and other problems persist, the family environment turns negative and causes emotional damage to everyone.
The Hopeful Minds Counseling Services therapists have helped families cope with and overcome an array of difficult issues, including:
Everyone in the family unit is affected when one person struggles with a mental health disorder. Your therapist may recommend individual therapy in addition to family therapy if this happens in your family.
After meeting with your family and learning about your dynamics and challenges, your Hopeful Minds Counseling Services therapist works with you to set goals and develop a treatment plan.
There are numerous therapeutic approaches that work for family therapy. No matter what type of therapy your counselor uses, they focus on positive, practical solutions. For example, they may teach ways to resolve conflicts, manage anger, and communicate openly, honestly, and respectfully.
