Sometimes, individual therapy alone isn’t enough to fully address the challenges a patient is facing. Family therapy often becomes the preferred choice when a client needs the love and support of their relatives or when the whole family unit is being affected. Family relationships, for better or for worse, have an unmistakable influence on our mental health. However, even the most harmonious families can go through times of hardship. Therapy provides a safe environment for everyone to express pent-up emotions, feel heard, and develop healthy communication skills.
The close-knit nature of most families makes it hard to maintain internal objectivity. That’s why the insights of a licensed therapist are invaluable for identifying negative patterns and introducing actionable ways to break the cycle. During a crisis, family members often revert to established roles to restore a sense of equilibrium. A therapist can help each member recognize these roles and assess whether these behaviors are beneficial or harmful. This allows everyone to better regulate their actions according to the family’s needs.
Some may see family counseling as a last resort or an indication that they have failed in some regard. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Therapy is a proactive and responsible approach to managing family conflicts before they escalate. Whether you’re navigating tough growing pains or aiming for a more cohesive family unit, Northeast Family Services is ready to assist clients in Wheaton.
We understand how busy families can be, so our counseling services are designed to fit your schedule. The options we offer include telehealth and in-home therapy, providing convenient, personalized support designed to fit your unique preferences and healing journey.
Our therapists provide qualified assistance through interactive video chat sessions. This allows clients to address trauma, grief, and other challenges from the privacy of their home. Online therapy is flexible, accessible, and affordable, making it easier to stay in touch with your counselor between sessions.
If you want therapy sessions at home but dislike communicating virtually, in-home therapy is an excellent alternative. Being in a comfortable setting helps families open up and be more receptive to counseling. This can enhance treatment effectiveness and behavior modification, precluding the need for more restrictive care interventions.
Traditional in-office therapy is still a beneficial choice for many patients. Our certified therapists are able to provide a controlled environment that’s conducive to counseling while leveraging our extensive onsite resources.
