Attending family therapy helps families learn how to function better as a unit.  Each member of a family plays a vital role in how a family functions.  Exploring these roles and obtaining effort from each member in the family could create lasting and more meaningful connections.  Counseling can help individuals relate better to one another and explores current problems facing the family as well as generational patterns.  Family therapy is used to address any number of issues that impact how the family functions such as exploring conflicts, behavior patterns, traumatic experiences, and life changes to create a healthier family dynamic.  The therapist will work with the family to increase respectful interactions and improve cohesion and collaboration, while not compromising each member's own personal growth and integrity.
