Family Therapy

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that aims to address specific issues that affect the psychological health of the family. In family therapy, family can be defined as any group of people that call themselves family including parents, children, grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, friends, or caregivers. 

The goal of family therapy is to help families understand and support each other. Thus it can be helpful for when families feel overwhelmed, or are dealing with any of the following: 
  • Mental health problems within the family 
  • Unemployment
  • Transitions 
  • Aging 
  • Divorce
  • Trauma
  • Grief/ Bereavement
  • Illness
  • Miscommunication 
  • Behavioural problems
  • Frequent family conflicts or dysfunction 

There is no standard length for family therapy as some may only need a few sessions whereas other families may need more time. However, family therapy is often short-term.
