Having healthy interpersonal relationships, including with our families both biological and chosen, are crucial to our identity development and overall well-being, and family therapy can be helpful for many family systems, dynamics, and situations. Exploring the underlying factors that may be causing ruptures in relationships within a family can be a powerful way to strengthen familial relationships and our own personal well-being.
Similar to the reason that many individuals seek out therapy in St. Paul, MN and across Minnesota, it can be useful to have a neutral third party to help process, understand, and reframe struggles and dynamics. Family therapy is a safe place for family systems to do just that, and family therapists can help guide the process of healing within a family and introduce tools for more effective communication. Family therapy can address things like: adapting to changing family structure, processing past family trauma, introducing skills for communication and effective functioning within a family system, and more. Family therapy is sometimes shorter term than individual or couples therapy.
Our therapists who provide family therapy services: Tana, Megan, Ashley, Abby, Sarah, Mary, and Becky.
Though not exhaustive, this list includes many of the reasons families are often seen together in therapy. Based on your family’s current circumstances, a unique treatment plan will be created to fit your needs. The length of family therapy will vary from family to family.
