Family therapy may involve all family members or just those that are essential to address the problem being addressed. Family therapy is essential in helping children to adjust to issues that arise due to a change in family structure and connectivity, it can be important in influencing the child’s behavior.
Becoming new parents not always is a joyous thing but in some cases brings a lot of anxiety and challenges. This can be a difficult time of transition for many couples, going from single parents to a family with kids. Dual career parents raising school age children, feuding divorced parents, son in-law or daughter in- law problems, alienated adult children, intrusive in-laws, all cause different kind of issues.
Different parenting styles, especially during teenage years, can also cause frequent clashes leading to strained conversations and resentment.
