Family-based Therapy

Family-based therapy is a type of counseling that involves family members working together to address a person's mental health or behavioral issues. The goal is to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and create a supportive environment for change. The therapist helps family members understand each other's perspectives, develop strategies to support the individual, and resolve conflicts. This approach recognizes that family dynamics often influence individual well-being and that involving the whole family can lead to more effective, lasting improvements. It is commonly used for issues like eating disorders, addiction, and adolescent problems.
