How Family Therapy Can Help
A family is a unit where each individual can influence the system. Therapy is a beautiful opportunity to explore these patterns and improve the most important relationships in your life.
Family Therapy at Bridge to Better focuses on strengthening family dynamics and resolving conflicts. We work with families to improve communication, and foster understanding. Whether dealing with issues related to parenting, transitions, or interpersonal dynamics, Family Therapy offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space for understanding the opportunity each individual has to affect the family system.
How Family Therapy Works
Family Therapy sessions include multiple family members with a therapist to facilitate the identification and discussion of challenges in interactions. Therapists use a systemic approach, considering the family as a whole that is influenced by the beliefs and emotions of individuals within it. Through dialogue, skill-building, and enhanced understanding, Family Therapy aims to create an environment where individuals are able to affect the entire system. This both empowers and places responsibility on each individual to affect change and create sustainable solutions for long-term well-being of the system.
How do I Know if Family Therapy is for Me?
Families may benefit from therapy if they experience:
- Difficulties creating a sense of connection amongst family members
- Chronic or unresolved conflicts between family members
- Unclear boundaries and structure
- Intense emotions or avoidance that prevents resolution of conflicts
- One or more family members being blamed for family problems
- Issues balancing connection and autonomy within the family system, especially during transitional events (childbirth, adolescence, divorce)
