Family Therapy
Family is everything, but it can also be complex, and dynamics can cause conflicts and communication issues to arise. Using her expert skills, Candice works with families to understand their needs and provide guidance and support.
What is family therapy?
Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy involving working with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen relationships.
In addition, we explore the dynamics of the family system and identify areas where change can be made to improve the functioning of the family.
Why should families consider therapy?
Family therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy that can help identify underlying issues relating to communication and family dynamics, allowing families to work through their challenges and use tools to promote harmony.
Below are just a few of the reasons why you and your family could benefit from psychotherapy:
- Communication issues: Families may struggle with communication, leading to misunderstandings, conflict and tension.
- Parenting concerns: Parents may have difficulty managing their children's behaviour or struggle with differences in parenting styles.
- Life transitions: Families who go through changes such as divorce, a big move or a new child can heavily impact the family dynamic and lead to tension and stress.
- Mental health concerns: Family members with mental health disorders require extra support, which can impact the family's functioning.
- Behavioural issues: Family members engaging in behaviours such as substance abuse or addiction can shift the family dynamic and have a negative impact.
How does family therapy work?
Family therapy includes sessions whereby the family members all work together to understand the challenges they're facing while receiving support and guidance from Candice. Your first session will be about getting to know you and your family, and everyone getting to know Candice and how each session will proceed.
Candice uses this time to do an initial assessment of your family's history, challenges and goals. She will then develop a psychotherapy plan tailored to your needs and areas that need work. The sessions that follow will explore the dynamics of your family systems and identify areas that need improvement.
Through various techniques, Candice will provide the tools to manage your relationships and improve communication and conflict resolution.
We know that seeking help is never easy, and it's our mission to make the process as seamless as possible so that you can get the support you need. Choosing to work on yourselves together is a brave step and shows your dedication towards your loved ones.
Don't hesitate to seek the help your family needs. Contact Candice to arrange your appointment.
