Often times individual therapy is just not enough to create sustainable change. Families are like puzzles. If you take one piece and mold and change it but the rest of the puzzle stays the same, that piece will likely be forced back into the same old mold that has not been working. Sustainable change requires a shift in the entire system. Families are complex and interwoven, and it is vital to engage the whole family in the process of change. Additionally, connection and engagement among family members is crucial in combating anxiety, depression, defiance, and other struggles that disrupt family cohesion. The clinicians at Katie Ford Counseling and Consulting, PLLC have years of experience doing family therapy, and have worked with many different types of family systems. We use a playful and engaging approach to create a safe environment that encourages open and authentic communication. We focus on examining roles, rules, and relationships within the family system, and work collaboratively with the family to create a shift in these problematic dynamics in a way that challenges the core of the issue, and not just the symptoms.
