Traditional, Alternative, Gay and Lesbian Family Therapy and Counseling

Family therapy and counseling can be helpful for most families, whether traditional, alternative, gay or lesbian, and is generally used to address problems with communication and/or miscommunication within a family.

Family therapy is often shorter term than individual or couples therapy. Following is a list of reasons families often take part in family therapy: 
  • Aging – the effects on family 
  • The effects of addiction on the family
  • Anger management / Conflict resolution
  • Blended and stepfamily challenges
  • Caregiving issues
  • Co-parenting, single parenting and visitation
  • Cultural and multicultural issues
  • Divorce
  • Families of the chronically mentally ill
  • Family challenges with children with developmental variations or physical limitations
  • Families with children and adolescents/teens and all of the complexities involved in parenting 
  • Job loss or retirement
  • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) issues
  • Life stage transitions - birth of a child, separation, divorce or remarriage
  • Loss & grief
