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.
Thriveworks family therapists in Arlington, VA 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thriveworks therapists in Arlington, VA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
Some of us have healthy dynamics with our family members; others aren’t so lucky. These individuals might have grown up during a particularly difficult time—for example, their parents struggled to keep a job or decided to separate. Or, they might have experienced something traumatic, disagreed with their family’s religious beliefs or moral code, or simply didn’t get along with their family members. And for those who don’t have a troubled past, these individuals still encounter challenges in their relationships with family.
If you have a shaky foundation with your family, but you’re interested in working it out and improving these relationships, a family therapist can help. Additionally, if you have overall healthy relationships with your family members, but you’ve hit a rough patch, a family therapist can assist you. In summary, family therapy can help you and your loved ones work through the problems at hand to repair any broken or faulty relationships.
Thriveworks Arlington, VA has family therapists and counselors who are ready to help. To schedule your first family therapy session, simply call (703) 775-2939. Our scheduling specialists will assist you in booking your appointment. They will walk you through your many scheduling options including evening and weekend sessions!
