In-Depth Psychotherapy in San Francisco and Oakland Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families Family Therapy The basic idea about family therapy is that the family is a system. This means that what is happening to one person in the family system will have an effect on others in the family system. Family therapy provides an opportunity and a place for family members to come together and work through issues that might be affecting the entire family. Initial meetings will focus on figuring out what is not working and why, and goals for the therapy will be agreed upon. Once goals are identified, work on the the family system's communication and interaction begins. Family therapy can be quite rewarding and certainly illuminating, especially regarding seeing how our way of behaving with others actually impacts the system. Kirsten works to help families with conflict mediation, learning how to commincate more clearly, and developing more effective ways of interacting and coping with stress. ©
