Family Counseling and Therapy
Whether you are a parent, child, sibling, or extended family member, 360 therapists understand how familial relationships impact daily lives. Familial interactions can be difficult; often leading to tension and conflicts with family members. 360 Therapists can teach families the necessary skills in a safe and supportive environment that can deepen family connections and help improve family dynamics. This usually results in long lasting change that will continue long after your therapeutic work is completed. Family therapy is helpful for many different situations caused by stress, grief, anger, or conflict. Therapy can help you and your family members understand one another better, improve your communication skills, and bring you closer.
There are differing ways of working with Family Counseling. Generally, each family member observes how they individually fit into the family dynamics and the patterns that result in problematic interactions. The family is then led, as comfortably as possible, to voice their concerns along with their wants and needs. A strategy is then worked out where solutions or different behavioral responses can be implemented. An emphasis is placed on remaining safe and comfortable in being able to have each family member’s voice heard so that ultimately, together, the family can come to a better place of understanding and collaboration. This may also include addressing past grievances that may seem challenging to address, which is often the case when problems are endemic to the family. Additionally, Family Therapy helps the family identify their strengths as well as the emotional ties that bind them together so a happier and more fulfilling dynamic can be established. Used in conjunction with Individual Therapy to address individual concerns that may arise, the therapists at 360 Therapy have assisted many families and have helped them find ways of working through their differences.
