Why do Family Therapy?

Families come in all shapes and sizes. Each of them is uniquely beautiful and important.  Through the course of children’s development, family dynamics shift and evolve constantly to meet the new needs of each family member. In this process, there are times where unhelpful family patterns can develop leading to communication breakdowns, conflict, and stressful home environments. At Strong River Counselling we help families bring equilibrium back to the family unit.

Family Therapy Approach

Family therapy offers a unique and powerful approach to addressing challenges that impact the entire family unit. Instead of focusing on an individual's symptoms in isolation, family therapy views the family as an interconnected unit, recognizing that each member's well-being is both independent and deeply intertwined.

​Our approach emphasizes identifying and building upon your family's unique strengths, promoting empathy, and empowering each member to contribute to a more harmonious and fulfilling family life. Together, we'll work towards creating lasting positive change and a stronger, more connected family future.

Benefits of Family Therapy 

  • Improve Communication: Develop healthier and more effective ways to express thoughts, feelings, and needs, leading to greater understanding and reduced conflict.

  • Strengthen Relationships: Rebuild bonds, resolve long-standing issues, and foster a deeper sense of connection and support among family members.

  • Identify and Shift Unhelpful Patterns: Gain insight into recurring family dynamics and work together to break free from cycles that hinder growth and happiness.

  • Navigate Transitions and Crises: Develop resilience and adaptive strategies to cope with life's inevitable changes, from common developmental stages to unexpected challenges.

What to Expect 

Family therapy is a supportive environment where families can come together to address and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their relationships. During sessions, your therapist will guide discussions by helping each family member express feelings and perspectives. You can expect a safe space to promote open dialogue, with strategies and tools provided to foster understanding and collaboration.

Our family therapy sessions are intended for family members of any age and are held in-person and virtually.

"Family is a microcosm of the world. To understand the world, we can study the family: issues such as power, intimacy, autonomy, trust, and communication skills are vital parts underlying how we live in the world. To change the world is to change the family." - Virginia Satir
