  1. Family Therapy and Counseling

  2. Family counseling serves as a haven to identify, discuss, and explore resolutions for a variety of family difficulties that prevent you from maintaining healthy relationships.

  3. What is Family Therapy and Counseling? When families have any communications difficulties or problems that they need help with, the therapists usually use psychotherapy to help the family talk through their problems. Psychotherapy is a form of talking therapy that is used by licensed marriage and family counselors in their sessions.

  4. Why Do Families Get Counseling? Families often seek counseling services because individuals need help sharing, recognizing, and accepting needs, opinions, strengths, and weaknesses.

  5. Parents and children attend counseling sessions together to work through issues like: Anger Coping with health issues Couples counseling Custody issues Divorce or separation Financial issues Grief and loss Substance abuse

  6. How can Family Counseling help? In many instances, each family counseling appointment is educational. Therapists teach behavioral and communication skills that help each individual find better ways to manage changes and conflicts. Together, the family can create goals and plans that will help them work through issues they encounter in the future.

  7. Family Counseling and significant life changes Amanda Levison, a therapist in Harrisburg PA practicing at the Neurofeedback & Counseling Center of Pennsylvania says, “We often work with families who need help managing a major move to a new country, home, or school. We work with families, so they better adapt to adoption or a new birth, and we help blended families learn to live together harmoniously. When families have new life dynamics, they often need to find time to process them with a neutral outside party like a therapist.”

  8. How does Family Therapy work? During the session, your therapist will ask everyone several questions and will expect honest answers. You might be asked about the positives and negatives of your relationships with each other, as well as the reason why you chose to attend counseling sessions.

  9. After learning about the conflict and the personalities of each individual present, the therapist will begin to help you recognize what each person can do in the relationships and how to work through problems with healthy, rational communication. The therapist might also ask for some changes in the dynamics of the group. It is important that parents and children do not think the therapist is taking sides because they want the whole group to get along and function in the best possible way.
