Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping members of a family improve communication, resolve conflicts, and develop healthy and fulfilling relationships. It is an approach that examines the dynamics within a family and seeks to identify and address disruptive patterns of behavior that are causing problems within the family unit. It is based on the belief that families are systems, and every individual's behavior affects and is affected by the behavior of others in the family.

Family therapy can be transformative in a variety of ways by providing a safe space for families to express themselves in a supportive environment. Some of the issues that family therapy can help with include behavioral problems of children, marital problems, trauma, mental health issues, addiction, or any other family issue that is affecting the well-being of the family unit. It can help families navigate tough conversations and challenges such as changes in structure, abuse, or mental or physical illness.
