Sometimes, clients choose to initiate their therapy journey with a family session. Other times, individuals and couples come in and we eventually include other family members to enhance the healing progression.

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that aims to improve communication and resolve conflicts within a family unit. This therapeutic approach recognizes the family as a system, where each member's actions affect the whole. As a psychotherapist, Diane facilitates family therapy to bring together various family members to explore and understand their relationships, behaviors, and patterns of interaction. It provides a safe and supportive space for all family members to express their feelings, thoughts, and concerns.

Through guided discussions and activities, the therapist helps the family identify and address underlying issues, improve understanding and empathy among family members, and develop healthier communication strategies. The therapy is tailored to the unique needs and dynamics of each family, focusing on building strengths, solving problems, and fostering a supportive and nurturing family environment.

Family therapy can be beneficial for addressing a wide range of issues, including marital problems, parent-child conflicts, the effects of illness or addiction on the family, and major life transitions. By working together towards common goals, families can heal from past hurts, strengthen their bonds, and move forward with greater harmony and understanding.
