Take action now to get the professional help you need. Call 703-437-6311 or send an email to [email protected] and schedule a Free Consultation with Dr. Linda Ritchie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Family therapy operates on the premise that all members of a family are impacted by other family member’s experiences. Family conflicts are caused by any number of problems such as divorce, employment problems, teenage rebellion, or illness that create stress and conflict between family members. In family therapy, family members work together to resolve problems.
Typically family therapy will bring the entire family together in therapy sessions. However, it may be that individuals in the family also see the therapist alone. There may also be times when individuals who are not a member of the family (such as a teacher or school counselor) participate in a therapy session with the family if their participation would be of benefit to the family.
A family therapist can help your family learn how to better solve problems and how to better express thoughts and feelings. In family therapy, family members will learn about family roles and rules. Family members will examine behavior patters and learn to identify issues that cause conflict. Family therapy helps all members of the family understand each other and improve the way they interact with one another. It helps the family to better resolve conflicts that arise.
