How family therapy works for adults
Adult children and their parents have a beautiful opportunity to heal patterns by participating in adult family therapy.
Issues from the nuclear family are sometimes reactivated at later stages of life, such as dealing with grandchildren, health issues, estrangement and life transitions.
This is an opportunity to change intergenerational patterns with openness, awareness and compassion. A professional counselor as a facilitator can help to bring your family together to heal old wounds and start new patterns.
Who might benefit from adult family counseling?
- Parent/adult child therapy
- Adult siblings, with or without a parent
