Family therapy helps when things aren’t working as well as you’d like them to at home. Children change a lot as they grow and what has worked with them in the past may not work as they get older. In addition, children who have experienced major changes, stress, or loss may struggle to cope in healthy ways. This may include the addition of a new sibling, a move, divorce or separation, school problems or loss of an important figure in their life.
They may begin to resist routine or rules. They may seem out of control of their emotions. They may avoid what usually makes them happy. They may behave in new and difficult ways. If you find yourself stuck, frustrated, or helpless, family counseling may help. During therapy sessions we use play, games or other child centered approaches to look at the problem through everyone’s perspective and learn how to create understanding and solutions that will help your family feel better and move forward.
