What Does a Family Therapy Session Look Like?
At the beginning of treatment, the family therapist will explore the issues and what each member hopes to get out of treatment and will work with the family to co-create goals. The therapist will work actively to maintain a space where family members can listen to each other with curiosity and respond to one another honestly and empathetically. This enhances communication, supporting members in conveying their perspectives, wants, and needs, while building understanding and strengthening positive connections. Each session depends on what the family needs at the time, so every session varies. Family therapy sessions at The Midtown Practice are 60 minutes long and can take place in person or virtually.
Who Participates in Family Therapy?
Family therapy can involve some or all members of a family experiencing difficulties. Depending on the situation, the treatment can include some or all members of the nuclear family, members of extended families, blended families, and/or individuals who are part of the family system who are not related biologically or legally. If you are not sure whom to involve in family treatment or even whether family therapy could help, a consultation with a family therapist can help you decide.
