Family therapy happens between two or more members of a family, and can take on many forms. Parents and teen or adult children, adult siblings, and any combination of people within a family, can find it helpful to work through conflict with a professional therapist. The therapist often takes on the role of “listening assistant,” helping each party accurately and clearly hear the messages that other family members are trying to communicate. If you are having conflict with somebody in your family, family therapy may help.
