Common situations that can benefit from family therapy include:

 

•Loss and grief

•Financial problems

•Marital conflicts

•Blended family concerns

•Anger management issues

•Diagnosis of mental or physical illness

 

The providers at New Dawn Psychiatric Care also recommend that you consider family therapy for any issues that negatively affect the communication and connection between family members.

 

 

During your initial family therapy session, your provider spends the time to get to know everyone. They also guide conversations to learn more about your family dynamic. Your provider offers therapy sessions in a safe, non-judgmental environment, so you are free to express your feelings, thoughts, and emotions. The more open you and your family members are about your needs and concerns, the more effective your therapy sessions will be. Your provider can determine how often your family needs to engage in therapy sessions. In some situations, they may recommend that you schedule individual counseling sessions or ask that only certain family members attend therapy appointments.

 

However, they continue to focus on improving the overall family dynamic at each session. Depending on the needs of your family, you may only need family therapy for a short time. If conflicts are more complex, your family may benefit from ongoing therapy and other supportive resources. Your provider can also address the mental and behavioral health concerns of individual family members with therapeutic strategies and medication.
