What is Family Therapy?
Family counseling, also known as family therapy, focuses on improving relationships within a family unit. Whether the family is dealing with a significant issue like divorce, grief, or chronic conflict, or just looking to improve communication, therapy provides a structured environment to explore these concerns with the guidance of a trained professional. Our practice involves the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help families understand the underlying causes of their issues and work through them in a constructive way.
