Family Therapy in Greensboro, NC—Therapists, Counselors, and Psychologists
Not all families get along, but it’s not so easy to turn your back on blood relatives when the going gets tough. That said, sometimes family situations can be trying (to say the least), and it’s tempting to just walk out and never come back. There are some families who live in perpetual conflict where not a single day goes by without an argument or disagreement.
What’s sad about these situations is that people tend to accept them as the norm—or their norm, anyways. In truth, such environments are harmful to physical and mental wellbeing, but no one has to live like this, not if they don’t want to. There are many situations where families are unable to resolve their differences. In such cases, family therapists can probably do for them what they cannot do for themselves.
The family counseling concept is simple in theory: it’s to nurture change and encourage development. In practice, it takes a lot more work, but it can be incredibly effective all the same. So, if you think that your family could benefit from the nurture, the support, and the guidance that a family therapist can provide, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Greensboro, NC. Call our office to schedule a session with a Thriveworks family therapist in Greensboro, NC today.
How Does Family Therapy Work?
Family therapy is meant to help families work through their specific challenges and improve their relationships. It uses a range of counseling and other techniques including:
- Structural therapy
- Strategic therapy
- Systemic/Milan therapy
- Narrative Therapy
- Trans generational Therapy
Your family therapist will get to know your family including the problems at hand as well as individual needs before they design treatment. Once they get to know each individual and the family unit as a whole, they can create a treatment plan that will best help the family. This treatment plan might involve the above therapy techniques.
Common Family Challenges Discussed in Family Therapy
Troubled families are not just the result of trouble-making family members, though it may seem like that at times. The root causes can be pretty deep and quite latent. Sometimes there are underlying conditions in some people too, like:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Drinking problems and drug addictions
- Mental illness
- Divorce or legal separations
- Undiagnosed psychiatric conditions, etc.
Family therapy can often help get to the root cause of turmoil and disruptions in the home. A qualified therapist is impartial. They can step back and look in from an outside observer’s perspective. Therapists get to see the problem by removing the culprits from the picture. When they see the problem—without the people—they can then piece everything together. Once they have a clearer picture they are able to present a workable plan of action for the troubled family.

The health of one’s relationships is a huge factor when it comes to one’s mental health and wellbeing.
