What is family therapy?

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy (counseling) that focuses on interfamilial relationships and behaviors. It aims to improve communication between children and parents, siblings, and other family members.

All families experience communication challenges in the best circumstances. But certain events, like death, divorce, and significant medical diagnoses, can exacerbate things and make communication even more difficult.

Family therapy addresses these issues in a healthy and positive way. It provides you and your loved ones with the tools you need to overcome obstacles and achieve peace.

What does family therapy involve?

At Paramount Health Directions, a holistic team tailors family therapy to each patient’s needs and goals. That might include:

Talk therapy

Talk therapy provides a safe space for you and your family to discuss your concerns and challenges. It presents an opportunity for you to speak with and listen to each other without judgment. During each therapy session, your provider suggests strategies for changing problematic behaviors and patterns.

School and educational services

Students with conditions like autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder often struggle at school. Paramount Health Directions has a school liaison that works with students to achieve their academic and social-emotional goals.

House calls and in-home therapy

A clinical counseling environment isn’t always ideal for children with special needs. Paramount Health Directions offers house calls and in-home therapy so your family members can receive high-quality care wherever they feel most comfortable.

LGBTQA+ and gender dysphoria communication therapy

Many families struggle to communicate openly about gender and sexual identity. Paramount Health Directions regularly provides guidance, education, and support regarding topics like gender dysphoria, gender confusion, and other LGBTQA+ issues.
