Family Therapy
Strengthen bonds, improve communication, heal together.
Family therapy is a type of counseling that addresses the dynamics and interactions within a family system. It focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships among family members. By understanding and addressing individual roles and behaviors, family therapy helps create a supportive and cohesive family environment. This type of therapy can be beneficial in navigating life transitions, managing stress, and addressing mental health issues that affect the entire family.
Our therapist’s that specialize in family therapy are Jessie Chism and Jenna Pluard.
What to expect in a family session:When attending family therapy at Mindfully Active, you can expect a structured yet flexible approach to addressing your family's needs. Sessions typically involve all or most family members and are facilitated by an experienced therapist who guides discussions and activities. The initial sessions focus on understanding the family dynamics, identifying issues, and setting goals. Subsequent sessions work on communication skills, conflict resolution, and building stronger relationships. The therapist provides a safe, non-judgmental space for each member to express their feelings and concerns, fostering mutual understanding and support.
