Family Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Our family is a system combined of parents, siblings, extended family members, spiritual community, work community. They all affect us differently and shape how we perceive the world and what our place is in it. Sometimes this can be a positive family system and sometimes, it can be a negative family system. We learn our vocabulary, our customs and rituals, our habits, and how to view and observe the world around us.
Individuals seeking Family Therapy can benefit from it by learning different behaviors and responses to stress management, respond differently to difficult conversations or behaviors, and get intervention for those family members who have addictions or trauma.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member
