Family Therapy
Family members work better together when they are listened to, supported, and understood by each other. Family Therapy is helpful in identifying systemic patterns of interactions, addressing personal and parental wounds as well as redesigning new patterns of communication.
​
​Family Therapy aims to create a safe space to allow for 'hard talk' among family members. Children are at risk of repeating their parents' patterns of interactions (retaliatory, uncooperative, resentful, so forth). What children learn in their family dynamic becomes a blueprint for their future relationships. Family Therapy nurtures parent-child relationships, and assists children to break cycles of relational trauma. It supports children and parents to reunite with one another against the problems, and develop compassion for each other. Family Therapy reduces suffering caused by emotional disconnection and allows for healing and integration.
​
Family Therapy sessions are tailored to accommodate family members to achieve preferred outcomes. The appropriate format for sessions are proposed to assist the process.
​
Therapy services are available in English and Farsi.
