Family isn’t just an important thing. It’s everything.
When possible, the most effective course of therapy is to engage children with their parents in family therapy, regardless of the presenting problem. Developing or deepening feelings of trust and safety and enhancing emotional bonds with parents allows teens the emotional security and freedom they need to self correct. Acting out, destructive and defiant behaviors often calm down drastically when a teen feels trust and connection with the people closest to him or her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does family therapy work?
Yes, family therapy can be highly effective. Research and clinical evidence demonstrate that family therapy can lead to positive outcomes, including improved communication, better understanding between family members, enhanced problem-solving skills, and increased overall family satisfaction. However, the success of family therapy depends on the commitment and active participation of all family members involved.
How long does family therapy typically last?
The duration of family therapy can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the issues, the goals of therapy, and the level of family engagement. Some families may see progress within a few sessions, while others may require several months of ongoing therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with the family to determine the appropriate duration of therapy.
What is functional family therapy?
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is an evidence-based approach to family therapy that focuses on improving family dynamics and addressing problematic behaviors within the family unit. It aims to enhance communication, problem-solving skills, and relationships, with the goal of creating a more functional and supportive family environment.
What's the purpose of family therapy?
The purpose of family therapy is to improve the overall functioning and well-being of the entire family system. It aims to address relational conflicts, improve communication, strengthen bonds, and foster a healthier and more harmonious family dynamic. Family therapy also helps individuals within the family understand and support each other through challenging situations.
When is family therapy not appropriate?
Family therapy may not be appropriate in cases where there is ongoing abuse or violence within the family. In such situations, the safety and well-being of individuals involved must be the priority, and individual or specialized interventions may be necessary before engaging in family therapy.
Can family therapy help with specific family issues, such as substance abuse or mental illness?
Yes, family therapy can be beneficial in addressing specific family issues, including substance abuse, mental illness, or other challenges. It provides a supportive and structured environment where family members can learn effective coping strategies, improve communication, and strengthen support networks. Family therapy can also help families understand how these issues impact the entire family system and develop strategies for recovery and healing.
How do I know if my family would benefit from therapy?
Families can benefit from therapy if they are experiencing ongoing conflicts, communication breakdowns, strained relationships, or significant life transitions that impact the family dynamics.
