What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy or family counseling is a type of care intended to resolve particular problems impacting the family's health and functioning. It can support a family as they navigate stressful times, significant changes, or emotional or behavioral health issues of family members.
Family therapy views the issues of individuals within the broader unit, the family. The premise of this form of counseling is that issues can not be effectively discussed or resolved without knowing the community's nature. For example, how the spoken and unspoken rules of a family affect how the problems have developed and are supported or promoted by other family members.
