Starting Family therapy in Amarillo

What is family therapy?

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.

How does family therapy work?

Thriveworks family therapists in Amarillo, TX usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.

What is the most effective family therapy?

The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.

What is included in family therapy?

In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.

What is the success rate of family therapy?

Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.

Is family therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks therapists in Amarillo, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does family therapy last?

Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

Need more help deciding?

Family systems encounter different challenges, from constant bickering to school bullying. To strengthen your family’s relationship and resolve its problems, set up an appointment with a counselor or therapist at Thriveworks in Amarillo, TX. No matter what issue your family is going through, our family therapists can use their expertise to create long-term solutions that work for everyone involved. Reach out today for help.

When to Work With a Family Therapist

The families on TV sitcoms often resolve problems in a single episode with lighthearted jabs and quick chats. Real-life families, however, often have to take different, more long-term approaches to resolve behavioral problems, miscommunication, and other concerns that come up from time to time.

Families pursue counseling for different reasons. But some of the most common reasons to seek the help of a mental health professional include:

  • Changes in finances
  • Divorce and/or separation
  • Blended families
  • Bullying
  • Physical and psychological abuse
  • Identity acceptance issues
  • Mental and physical illnesses
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Child behavioral problems
  • Differing viewpoints (on politics, child-rearing, and other topics)

Strong family relationships take time, commitment, and hard work. Counselors, therapists, psychologists, and the other licensed professionals at Thriveworks can offer the resources you need to continue to grow together.

Therapeutic Techniques: How Family Therapy Can Help

Therapy is designed to help you work through relationship issues in a respectful, civil manner. To help you and your family reach your relationship goals, your provider might try one or more forms of therapy, such as:

  • Structural family therapy, which examines family hierarchies and looks for areas of improvement.
  • Narrative therapy, which uses storytelling techniques to get participants to take ownership of their individual stories (and thus their lives).
  • Milan systemic family therapy, which recognizes hurtful family patterns and designs ways to combat them.

Your therapist may use these and other techniques to address your family’s unique concerns. Regardless of which techniques are used, you and your loved ones will receive expert care in the hands of your provider. To get started, please call us to schedule a session with a therapist or counselor at Thriveworks in Amarillo, TX.

Schedule an Appointment With a Family Therapist at Thriveworks in Amarillo, TX

For most of us, our family members are the first people we see in the morning and the last people we see at night. Because we spend so much time with our caregivers, siblings, and other relatives, our interactions can sometimes become soured by miscommunication or disagreements. But no matter what challenge you face, a family therapist can help you and your family get back on the right track.

At Thriveworks, our counselors and therapists offer online sessions via video chat and weekend and evening appointment times to accommodate different schedules. We offer a generous cancellation policy, accept various insurance policies, and can often accommodate same-week appointments for new clients.

Family relationships are important. If you and your family are undergoing problems or want to improve your relationship, please contact Thriveworks in Amarillo, TX to get started today.
