families
Our family shapes who we are and has a powerful influence on how we feel, think, and behave. Family can propel us forward or hold us back. Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- Parent-child conflict
- Problems between siblings
- Divorce
- Domestic violence
- The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member
