1. San Diego Family Therapy & Counseling
Many families, especially nowadays, do not spend nearly as much
quality time together as they once did. Often families don’t even participate in group activities or
eat dinner together, due to the busy and conflicting schedules of the family members. Over
time, this experience of “disconnect” can take a toll on your family’s group dynamics by
creating both internal and external conflict, as well as feelings of dissatisfaction between
members.
As a type of Psychotherapy, Family Therapy aims to bring the family together into a single,
safe environment, whereby each member may freely speak about his/her issues in a collective
and supportive environment. This type of counseling usually works best when all members are
present at once. However, if a family member expresses resistance and a refusal to attend the
sessions, therapy can still be conducted with the remaining members who are present and
willing to rebuild their interconnected relationships.
While the length of therapy varies from group to group, Family Therapy is usually shorter. As
your therapist I will not only mediate current issues, but also provide you all (collectively and
individually) with tools and suggestions to better interact with one another and resolve future
conflicts.
