Family therapy is a form of therapy that addresses behaviors of all family members and how each of these behaviors affects the group, individually and as a whole family unit. When you employee a family therapist, the therapist will assess each persons behaviors and roles within the family unit and determine a treatment plan that could include individual psychotherapy for each member. The ultimate goal is to help the family resolve conflict, learn to respect and appreciate each other more, and communicate better. The range of problems treated in family counseling include conflict, issues with elder care, parenting issues & strategies, codependency, dealing with death, grief and loss, infidelity recovery, adjusting to school or job changes, adjusting to moves, or transitions, increasing communication, and supporting a family member with a mental illness.
Child Therapy, Play Therapy, Teen Therapy, Adolescent Counseling | Flower Mound, TX
Children as young as four years old can receive psychotherapy at our Argyle counseling office. Therapy for a minor works works within the familial system. While the minor has confidentiality rights just as adults, therapists work with parents to develop and implement parenting skills and better communication skills within the family system. Therapists still maintain strict confidentiality but are required to report abuse and notify the parent if the child is at risk of hurting themselves or others. In sessions, the therapist will spend time with the parent to fact find to learn about the reasons they desire the child/teen to see a counselor. After such time, the therapist will meet with the minor to establish rapport and trust. Parents or guardians must understand that this process sometimes takes time and may take longer to get to the root of the issues than it would with an adult. Weekly appointments are the most helpful in building report, trust, and consistency is KEY. The therapist will most likely utilize several techniques through the duration of counseling. Some common techniques we use are play therapy, art therapy, trauma therapy, walk-and-talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, walk-and-talk therapy. Issues we tackle during child & adolescent therapy are the same as adults.
Group Therapy, Group Counseling, Process Groups | Flower Mound, TX
The term “group therapy’ is often used interchangeably with group counseling, process groups, support groups, therapy groups, etc.
Individual therapy is helpful in self-discovery and healing, but people often fail to see the value in group therapy. Group therapy is closer to real life than individual therapy and in most instances can fast track the healing process. You are dealing with real people rather than just a mental health professional. It provides a safe place for you to learn to be in relationship with others, learning about and from people who are different from you, have different or sometimes similar backgrounds/experiences, and with different personalities/viewpoints. Therapists invite group members to provide robust feedback, explore different viewpoints, and practice effective communication maturely, refraining from verbal attacks. Through the group experience members are empowered to sustain intimate relationships, voice thoughts and feelings, share experiences, step outside comfort zones, learn to honor feelings, take emotional risks, learn to have better boundaries, learn to be more assertive, and learn to communicate more effectively and with authenticity. Trained group therapists can navigate group experiences and observe social interactions of clients rather than rely on the client’s self accounts.
Group is for everyone.
Everyone deals with groups (family, work, social settings) and everyone has room to improve in their ability to relate with others. There are groups for depression, chronic pain, eating disorders, chronic mental illness, anger, couples, personal growth, anxiety, career transitions, teens, social skills training, parenting, and more.
How Counseling Works | Flower Mound, TX
The length of treatment varies from person to person and the complexity, nature and severity of the issues being addressed during therapy. In couples or marriage counseling, the therapist will begin by meeting with both partners and then may spend some time with each individual. In family therapy, the therapist will also begin by meeting with the entire family and then, if appropriate, meet separately with individual family members. The first session is generally for information gathering, so the therapist can learn about the problem that brought you to therapy, get the thoughts of everyone involved, and observe couple/family dynamics. At the same time, you should be able to get a clear sense of the therapist’s role and competency, the goals of treatment, and any “rules” to be observed in and out of sessions, such as confidentiality.
