Our Strategy for Family Counseling

Family therapy is about you and your family, and the specific approach that your therapist takes and the goals that you hope to achieve will be targeted based on your needs, too. In general, family therapy should help your family improve its communication skills, ability to analyze problems, ability to cope with stress and emotions, and the ability to work together to solve problems. At Life Insight, our process looks something like the following… 

To begin, our therapist will speak with each member of the family. Depending upon the family’s comfort, this may happen collectively, or during one-on-one sessions. This is the time where the therapist can start to develop a deeper understanding of what’s happening. The next step will be to work with family members to work out a treatment plan. The course of treatment will be based on the family’s goals for therapy and timeline for reaching those goals. Together, the therapist will help each member of the family to understand their own needs and conflict styles. Throughout the process, family members should develop new skills for managing conflict.
