Family Therapy Winnipeg
Family therapists view the family as a system that develops patterns of interaction among members. The patterns that develop can either support the health and wellbeing of its' members, or often unintentionally, have negative effects on one or more members. Relational therapy can help to identify the problematic patterns that play out and help restore the healthy functioning of family relationships.
When to Seek Family Counselling Services
Relational therapy can be effective for a range of issues, including:
- parenting and co-parenting
- child and adolescent mental health
- grief and loss
- parent-child conflict
- conflict between adult siblings or between adult children and their parents
- adjusting to changes in family structure (separation/divorce, stepfamily transitions, relationships with in-laws)
- navigating changing boundaries among family members
- reconciliation after a cut off or rupture in the relationship between members
- families affected by mental illness, addiction or trauma
Whether you're raising young children or supporting aging loved ones, our family counseling services in Winnipeg are here to help at every stage of the family life cycle.
Benefits of Family Counselling
Some ways that family therapy may be beneficial include:
- de-escalating stressful interactions
- identifying misperceptions and building awareness and understanding
- fostering a more secure attachment between members
- teaching skills for healthy communication and regulating emotions
- supporting healthy transition through times of change
- emotional processing of difficult events or experiences
The Family Therapy Process
Your therapist will consult with you to identify the presenting issue and who should attend the first session. The 'assessment phase' is typically 2-3 sessions and typically includes a conjoint session with family members, as well as individual meeting time with different members. This helps your therapist gain an understanding of the family's relationship functioning and each person's perspective and goal for therapy.
