Family Therapy 

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that involves working

with two or more family members to improve communication,

resolve conflicts, and strengthen family dynamics. A licensed

mental health counselor helps the family understand and

change patterns of interaction that contribute to stress or

dysfunction.

The goal of family therapy is not to place blame but to enhance

understanding, promote healthier relationships, and address

issues that affect the entire family system.
