Family Therapy

All families go through times of difficulty. Family therapy is helpful to equip parents and children alike with tools to talk about things that may be hard to talk about and thus understand one another as people.

The overall goal of family therapy is to strengthen relationships and empower parents as leaders of the family to pass on life-shaping virtues. When parents are in charge, kids feel confident, secure, and are more likely to believe in themselves. As a result, they go out into the world as responsible, capable adults.

At times, it is beneficial for adult children to bring their parents to therapy to discuss things from childhood that were hurtful. The intent is for the adult child to emotionally reconcile with their parents before they die. In doing so, the adult child better understands their parents, oftentimes resulting in a positive ripple effect on how the adult child parents their own children - changing patterns for the next generation!
