Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for the worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.

Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.

At the Samaritan Center we believe that the path to wellness has to include the entire family. For that reason we offer counseling for couples and families. Couples and Family Counseling leads to better understanding, problem solving, and overall resiliency for the entire family. Skilled therapists help family members express themselves in constructive ways, learn how to meet their needs and the needs of their loved ones, and create healthy boundaries for self and others.

Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:

• Divorce
• Parent-child conflict
• Problems between siblings
• Domestic violence
• The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member

Family therapy is necessary to address family issues and heal a family’s wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonate with your family, consider seeking family therapy. Family therapy can be beneficial on many different levels.

Some positive family therapy outcomes are:

• Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
• A fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
• Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
• Builds empathy and understanding.
• Reduces family conflict

Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
