Fort Worth Family Therapy—Therapists in Fort Worth, TX
When you think of family, what comes to mind? Do you imagine your own family, or do you think of the white picket fence type of family who never argues and always says ‘I love you’ when they part ways? The family you were born into is most likely not the white picket fence family. You probably argue, bicker, and purposely avoid phone calls from them. In fact, most, if not all, families aren’t picture-perfect.
Every single family experiences dysfunction—poor communication, lack of trust, fights. But at the same time, every family is capable of repairing broken relationships and regaining harmony. To achieve this, family therapy is the way to go. It is a way to move forward, tackle your issues, and develop a functional family again.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Fort Worth, TX, our licensed marriage and family therapists are readily available to offer their support and guidance. If you’re interested in repairing your family system, consider working with one of our family therapists.

How Does Family Therapy Work?
Whether or not you’ve ever gone to therapy before, starting family therapy can seem daunting at first. It can cause stress if one or more family members aren’t 100% on board with starting therapy in the first place. If this is the case for you and your loved ones, consider asking:
- Have we tried everything we can on our own to resolve issues?
- Are there sore spots in our relationships that cause us to be immediately upset?
- Is there trauma from our pasts that is preventing us from moving forward?
Family therapy is a specific form of treatment aimed at helping families address particular issues that are hurting the overall well-being and functionality of a family. When you begin working with a family therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Fort Worth, TX, your family therapist will look at the problems at hand in terms of the larger family unit. In some cases, this might involve individual issues, such as behavioral problems or mental illnesses, and identifying how it affects the family as a whole.
At our office, we believe in taking an individualized approach to therapy. This means that all of our clients will receive a unique plan of care to tackle their issues and move forward. Additionally, your family therapist will most likely utilize a variety of techniques to help you, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, narrative therapy, and traditional talk therapy.
What Issues Qualify for Family Therapy?
Maybe you and your siblings struggle to get along and are always competing to be the “favorite child.” Or perhaps you and your husband are planning to get a divorce and want to let your children know in a safe and calm environment.
