Types of Family Therapy

At ReFocus You, we offer various forms of family therapy to help strengthen relationships, improve communication, and resolve conflicts. Our experienced therapists tailor each approach to fit the unique needs of your family.

Structural Family Therapy (SFT)

  • Focuses on improving family structure, roles, and boundaries to create a healthier dynamic. It helps families struggling with power imbalances, parenting issues, or dysfunctional patterns.

Narrative Family Therapy

  • Helps families re-frame their challenges by separating problems from their identities. This approach is beneficial for those facing trauma, grief, or negative self-perceptions.

Systemic Family Therapy

  • Examines how family interactions influence individual behaviors. This approach encourages families to view problems as shared experiences rather than blaming one person.

Solution-Focused Family Therapy

  • A goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding practical solutions rather than dwelling on past issues. It is ideal for families who want to create positive change in a short time.

Each family is unique, and our therapists are here to guide you toward healing and stronger relationships. Contact us today to learn how we can support your family's journey to wellness.

Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy

  • Helps families recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues within the family unit.
