Family Therapy in Jackson, MS—Reconnect With Your Loved Ones at Thriveworks

When you think of family, what comes to mind? Is it family meals around the dinner table, vacations together, and opening gifts on every holiday? Or is it hearing your parents argue in the other room, scolding your siblings, and uncomfortable tension? 

While everyone would love to recall fond memories with family, this isn’t a reality for a lot of people. The topic of family can be a sore subject and evoke a lot of negative emotions. It’s not uncommon for you to get upset with your family or feel stressed when you get a call from them. Fortunately, certified family therapists have the tools necessary to help you and your loved ones work through your familial challenges.

If you feel like the relationships with your loved ones could be improved, consider working with a family therapist at Thriveworks.

Problems Addressed in Family Therapy

Family therapy can help you and your loved ones work through a wide range of challenges. Consider these scenarios: 

  1. You are visiting your family for the holidays and your parents start asking you about your job search. They’re visibly upset that you’re still managing a coffee shop and not working a corporate job. They don’t care if you’re happy or not. 
  2. Your sibling works a full-time job and lives at home with your parents rent-free. Your sibling doesn’t pay for their own groceries and even still asks your mom to buy them clothes. You’re tired of them being babied as an adult. 
  3. Your sister isn’t a very good mom. She only cares about buying herself things and going out with friends. One day she dropped your niece off at your house and was gone for a week straight. You’re tired of stepping up for her. 

No matter how big or little you think your concern is, our therapists at Thriveworks can offer you the support and guidance you need. Common family problems that are addressed at our office include: 

  • Mental illnesses like anxiety, depression, and ADHD
  • Financial stress or strain
  • Parenting issues
  • Behavioral problems in children
  • Grief and loss
  • Major life changes such as moving or starting a new career
  • Divorce or separation 
  • Communication issues
  • Sibling rivalry 
  • Coping with a chronic illness 

These are not the only issues our family therapists can help you work through. They are dedicated to assisting you through the difficulties in your way.

What Should We Expect From Family Therapy?

Many families are hesitant about going to therapy because they are fearful of opening up or being “blamed” for the issues in the relationships. However, family therapists at Thriveworks in Jackson, MS are the unbiased, outside perspective you and your loved ones might need to effectively communicate and work through your issues. No one will be blamed or singled out for their potential wrong-doings. 

To help you in every way possible, your family therapist will work to understand each family member’s unique needs, goals, and challenges. Doing so will allow your therapist to create a custom treatment plan that addresses everyone individually and as a unit. In some instances, one person might be dealing with something like depression but it affects the family as a whole. That’s why we spend time understanding all of you on a deeper level. 

The topics discussed in therapy vary from session to session as well as the methods and techniques used. Family therapy is also typically short-term meaning that families only attend on average around nine sessions. This may vary depending on your situation, but it is generally not an extensive process.
