You did not choose your family, but they are a part of your life no matter where you go.

At Palm Beach Therapy Center, our goal is to help you and your family overcome challenges and achieve positive change through therapy. We know how much of an impact our family has on our wellbeing and the important role these relationships play in our life. We also understand that families come in all shapes and sizes, and we are committed to providing personalized care to meet the unique needs of each family we work with.

What Are the Benefits of Family Therapy?
  • Improving communication and relationships within the family. Family therapists help members develop better communication skills with one another.
  • Developing effective problem-solving skills. During family therapy sessions, members are encouraged to focus on the problem at hand rather than personal disputes.
  • Decreasing conflicts and improving conflict resolution skills. This is done by providing members with strategies and step-by-step guidance to resolving the issues they are dealing with.
  • Increasing understanding and empathy between family members. To achieve this, the therapist acts as a mediator between the family members and helps them see each other's different points of view.
  • Building resilience and coping skills in the face of challenges. The therapist works with each member to help improve their own emotional regulation skills.

What issues can family therapy help fix?

Anger

Because the therapy room is a calm environment in which a therapist is present, family members are encouraged to deal with their anger effectively and avoid lashing out at other members.

Distant Family

Many family members are emotionally distant and disconnected, so therapy sessions can help them reconnect and form new bonds.

Traumas

Joint therapy can help family members process past events that were particularly emotionally intense or traumatizing for one or more of the members.

Communication Issues

Families who struggle with communication can greatly benefit from family therapy sessions since they provide opportunities for members to express their thoughts and emotions.

Grudges

Through family therapy, members can start to forgive one another and let go of past grudges. The therapist can both help mediate the issues at hand and help the members develop skills to better deal with their conflicts.

We offer a variety of family therapy types to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Cognitive-behavioral family therapy (CBT)

Structural family therapy

Solution-focused family therapy

Narrative family therapy

 

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

The most common type of family therapy is Structural family therapy since it deals directly with the issues related to family patterns and difficulties within the dynamic. By targetting these issues first, the whole family structure improves as does the members’ ability to communicate and resolve conflicts effectively.

Stage 1 is Assessment, during which the therapist asks questions in order to gather information about the existing family dynamics. Stage 2 is Preparation whereby the therapist identifies the core issues dealt with by the family and prepares a treatment plan to address them, which leads to Stage 3. The treatment happens during this stage. Depending on the type of therapy chosen, the therapist works with the family members on solving different problems and improving their communication. The 4th and final Stage is Disengagement. When the therapist deems the family ready to successfully move past the stage of therapy, the final sessions focus on equipping them with the right mental and emotional tools to maintain their newfound healthy family dynamics beyond the therapy room.

Family therapy can be better if an individual feels that their issues are more than personal struggles and instead require a whole-family-based approach. Although individual psychotherapy will always help improve a client’s relational and communication skills, it can be beneficial to have the whole family onboard for issues that start at home… it ensures quicker and more cooperative results. Nevertheless, the participation of the whole family is not required for you to witness changes in you life – it’s enough for you to be willing and committed!
