If your family is going through a tough time — whether it’s from stress, anger, or grief — family therapy can make a difference. It can help couples, children, or members of an extended family learn to communicate better and work through conflicts. Sessions are led by a specialist called a family therapist. They could be a psychologist, social worker, or therapist who’s had extra training in family therapy.

Problems in your family can affect all areas of family members’ lives. You and your loved ones might notice trouble cropping up at work, at school, or in everyday interactions with other people.

When it feels like the issues in your family are too big for you to handle — and aren’t getting better — it may be time to see a family therapist. They can help you find new ways to manage struggles, conflicts, and challenges. Some of the things that family therapists can help with are:

  • Conflicts between family members
  • Substance abuse or addiction
  • A family member’s mental illness
  • Financial problems or disagreements about money
  • Problems in school
  • Difficulties between siblings
  • Children’s behavior problems
  • Caring for a family member with special needs
  • Issues with extended family members
  • A family member’s illness or a death in the family
  • How to plan for shared custody of children

What Happens During Family Therapy?

First, your therapist will talk to everyone in the family to help them understand what’s going on. The therapist will ask questions about how each person views the problems when the trouble started and how the family has been trying to manage things so far.

Next, the therapist will work out a treatment plan. The goal is to improve conflict resolution in a family, not to blame anyone for the issues. Your therapist will help family members communicate better, solve problems, and find new ways to work together. Family therapy can’t always make a problem go away. But it can give family members new skills to get through difficult situations in healthier ways.
