Family Therapy in Chicago

About Family Therapy

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more family members working with a licensed therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and address issues affecting the family unit. It is used for a wide range of concerns including addiction, adolescent behavioral issues, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Sessions typically focus on patterns of interaction within the family system rather than on any one individual. Goals may include improving communication, establishing healthier boundaries, working through shared grief or stress, and supporting a family member through mental health treatment.
