Family Systems Therapy
Family Systems Therapy is a
specialized form of therapy designed to address complex problems or
problems that seem resistant to change. Family Systems Therapy is often
the treatment of choice when families experience problems in managing the
changes in their lives.
Family Systems Therapy
includes:
-
Therapy sessions
that involve many or all family members, including extended
family.
-
A supportive and
directive structure designed to lessen the nervousness which
family members may have about therapy.
-
Therapists who
assume that no one is to blame and that each family member is
doing his/her best at the moment.
-
A focus on
changing unhelpful patterns of communication so that
relationships improve.
-
Therapy sessions
which are often scheduled at longer intervals (3-4 weeks),
rather than the more traditional weekly scheduling.
-
Closely
coordinated services with other health providers involved,
such as a psychiatrist, social worker, school personnel, etc.

While no therapy method
guarantees results, Family Systems Therapy can help bring about successful
and permanent improvements for the family.
Family Systems Therapy is
offered primarily out of our Mankato area counseling office, including
satellites in Albert Lea, Faribault, New Ulm, Northfield, Owatonna, and
Waseca. For more information, call 507-625-7660, x221 or 1-888-881-8261.
