Family therapy
Family
relationships can be the most loving, and the most aggravating. We know
our family members, and they know us, better than almost anyone. That
creates opportunities for wonderful joy as well as occasional deep
pain. When those more painful times come, the counselors at First
Avenue Counseling Centre can help your family be more of a family again.
While family
therapy is defined more by its methods and subject matter than by who
is in the room, family therapy works best when every family member
involved in the problem is present. Sometimes we even find it helpful
to bring in family members who aren't involved, as they can provide
some keen insight into what may be really going on.
Our
counselors will discuss with you which family members should be in
session, and at which times. Family therapy is typically not a
long-term endeavor, with most families seeing improvement within 12
sessions. Some families choose to continue with the therapy experience
as a way to strengthen their bonds over longer periods of time.
Whatever your needs are, our counselors will work with you and your
family to try to meet them.
All of our fees are set on a sliding scale based on your income.
