Family therapy focuses on relationships within the family unit. This type of therapy occurs with some or all family members present for the sessions. Family therapy may be the main focus of treatment or it may be used to supplement individual therapy. Family therapy looks at the family system and how it functions as a whole unit. Family dynamics will be explored verbally and/or with art materials to help the family develop into a stronger and healthier unit.
Each family will create goals with the help of the therapist. These goals may include working on positive and clear communication, problem solving skills, expressing feelings appropriately, developing healthy coping skills, parenting skills, establishing boundaries, creating behavior plans, and understanding and using positive reinforcement.
During a family therapy intake session, each family member will have the opportunity to describe issues bringing the family to therapy.
After the final family therapy session, the therapeutic artwork created may be taken home.
