Family relationships are an important part of your psychological health. The family often serves as the platform you take your identity from, and can be your main support. It can also, however, be your main source of anxiety, misunderstanding, and upset.
Our therapy focuses on relationships between people, helping families to help each other. It is is a well-established psycho-therapeutic model that is proven to help, whether you are blood relations, extended family, a couple, or a group of people who choose to define yourselves as family.
Your individual issues are not the focus in a family therapy session, your family unit itself is. Sessions are about about noticing the patterns and interactions at play in your relationships and helping you find new ways to change and grow together. And the environment created by your family therapist is one that doesn't focus on who is at fault or to blame, but rather on what can be done to improve and solve situations you are facing.

Family Counselors Rockford IL
A family is a system, and if one of part of a system isn't working, then the whole system starts to break down. Family therapy helps to identify the negative interactions or cycles that can start to emerge within family systems, and to de-escalate these, and then rebuild positive cycles of interaction, so that the family can become stronger and more cohesive; and turn towards each other again, instead of away from each other.
Family therapy can help deal with an issue that belongs to one member of your family or one that everyone is experiencing. It is a chance for a group conversation in a supportive environment that helps you see new ways through together. And it's not just for adults but is very effective at helping struggling children or adolescents.
You don't have to be experiencing great difficulties to attend family therapy. It's also very useful as a check-in to keep your relationships on track. Whilst ideal for as many family members to attend as are affected by the difficulties, it is possible to make a start with those family members that are willing to participate.

Family dynamics have a pivotal role to play in the problems of individual family members and to collective family unhappiness and distress. Often it is not sufficient to just focus on the individual member of a family (e.g. the child or adolescent) who is overtly struggling with a particular emotion (anxiety, depression) or behavioral problem (bed wetting, child refusing to go to school). Instead of seeing the individual’s symptoms as an expression of an internal conflict it can be more useful to see it as serving a function in balancing or unbalancing relationships within the family. For example, a child’s anxiety may be drawing a couple’s focus away from the problems within their intimate relationship and allow them to find common ground (balancing). An adolescent’s truancy may pull his mother’s attention away from her new partner and towards him and his father (unbalancing).
