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.
