What is your go-to approach for family therapy?

My approach to family therapy is first to establish a collaborative relationship between the family members, and then move towards addressing unsolved problems and building relationships. Families need to get along before we can get on.

What tools do you teach in family therapy?

In family therapy, I teach collaborative and proactive solutions, an evidence-based practice to build lagging skills and resolve unsolved problems.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy?

I know a family is making meaningful progress when everyone in the family sees and feels the benefits of therapy.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement family therapy?

In their personal time, families can focus on building positive interactions and implementing conflict resolution skills to proactively resolve problems as a way to supplement family therapy between sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting family therapy?

Families can prepare for counseling by coming to sessions open-minded and understanding that there are going to be times they are asked to step outside of their comfort zone, but that it is all for the betterment of their family and everyone's day-to-day lives. They need to believe it is possible, even if they do not know how.

Starting Family therapy

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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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.

I am feeling so positive right now! I had a great session with Laura. I already feel like I made the right decision by choosing her. I felt like I was rambling but she assured me that I needed to do that to get her caught up on what's going on. I already did the challenge she gave me and I feel good about it. Looking forward to seeing her in 2 weeks!
