Did you know that you don’t have to be a biological family to experience the benefits of family therapy?
At Empire Psychotherapy, we consider a family to be any group of people who care about each other. If you call yourself a family, we consider you a family.
The goal of family therapy is to help everyone in the family better understand and support each other, whether you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, experiencing a pattern of harmful behaviours, or if your family is dealing with a stressful change such as divorce, death, or mental health issues.
Even changes such as unemployment and moving can create stress in a family. If there is any sort of imbalance in your family structure, family counselling can help!
Family Counselling: Areas of Support
Our team of therapists at Empire Psychotherapy is dedicated to helping you and your family make changes that will positively impact the dynamic of your family relationship.
Some of the challenges we can help with include:
- Conflicts Between Family Members
- Mental Illness
- Financial Problems and Disagreements
- Problems in School
- Children’s Behavioural Issues
- Conflicts Between Siblings
- Blended Families
- Divorce and Separation
- Infidelity
- Caring For a Family Member With Special Needs
- Shared Custody Planning
As you can see, family counselling addresses a range of situations from individual struggles to family-related problems. Our goal is to help you navigate the issue that is causing an imbalance and provide you and your family with the support and tools to help overcome it.
How Family Counselling Can Help Your Family
Family counselling works by helping family members understand each other and work through difficult feelings by improving interactions, communication, understanding, and empathy.
When each member of the family feels supported, positive changes can occur and improve the overall happiness of everyone involved.
Family counselling can greatly benefit your family by:
- Helping members learn how to constructively communicate their struggles and concerns.
- Allowing each family member to talk about their wants, needs, and hopes.
- Encouraging everyone to listen to each other.
- Clarifying each individual’s beliefs and values to create a better sense of understanding.
- Helping family members to stop blaming each other and learning how to work together.
- Increasing the understanding of the impact of each member’s words and behaviours.
Overall, our caring team of therapists at Empire Psychotherapy is here to support you and your family so that you can work through your goals and achieve balance and happiness.
Our Approach to Counselling
When it comes to helping you and your family work through your issues, our focus is pinpointing your struggles and creating lasting solutions to your unique situation. We are committed to getting to know you and your family on a deep and personal level.
Here at our Hamilton, Ontario, clinic, you won’t find stuffy therapists constantly nodding their heads and writing in notebooks.
We strive to provide a down-to-Earth and comfortable experience for all of our clients by talking to you in a conversational and understanding way so that we can best provide you with our support, knowledge, and expertise.
At Empire Psychotherapy we use a modern and effective form of therapy that is Attachment-Based which allows us to focus on how early attachment experiences affect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours of you and your family members.
This method has proven to be highly effective and can help you and your family achieve faster and better results!
