At My Denver Therapy, we understand that families are the foundation of our lives. They provide us with love, support, and a sense of belonging. But sometimes, even the strongest families can face challenges. Conflict, communication problems, and mental health issues can all take a toll on family relationships.
What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps families address these challenges and improve their overall functioning. A family therapist is a trained mental health professional who works with all members of the family to identify and address problems. Family therapy can be helpful for a variety of issues, including:
- Communication problems
- Conflict resolution
- Substance abuse
- Trauma
- Grief
- Mental health conditions
- Adult child and parent issues
- Behavioral problems in children

The number of sessions will vary depending on the family’s needs. During family therapy sessions, the therapist will work with the family to identify their goals and develop a treatment plan.
