The issues that face each family are complex, unique, and are not easily improved by utilizing some pre-packaged formula. In Family therapy, we encourage individuals and families to take an honest look at themselves and the roles they play in the family dynamic as the launching point for change. Treatment may also include learning more effective interpersonal skills, learning new ways to cope with stress and frustration, or addressing dynamics that cause emotional pain and disappointment. The goal of this practice is to strengthen marriages and families and allow them learn a new way to communicate effectively with one another.
