Improving communication and relationships within adult families
Adult family therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on improving communication and relationships within adult families. This type of therapy can be helpful in addressing a variety of issues, such as conflicts over caregiving, financial stress, relationship issues, and emotional challenges that may arise as parents age. Adult family therapy can also be useful for families going through transitions such as divorce, remarriage, or the blending of families.
We use evidence based techniques and interventions
At Guiding Light Psychology, our therapists work with adult family members to identify patterns of behaviour, communication styles, and emotional triggers that may be impacting their relationships. We use evidence-based techniques and interventions to help family members communicate effectively, build empathy and understanding, and develop strategies to manage challenging behaviours. Our therapists understand the unique needs and challenges of working with adult families and provide a safe and supportive environment for families to work through their issues and conflicts.
