Family Therapy
What Is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a type of counseling that helps family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationships. It focuses on understanding and addressing issues within the family system, rather than placing blame on one individual. The goal is to promote healthier interactions and support each family member’s emotional well-being.
