Modes of Therapy: Individuals, Couples, and Family

Individual psychotherapy is the form of therapy with one patient and one therapist. It provides the most attention to the concerns of the individual.

Family therapy is conducted with all or as many family members as possible. The work may all be done with the entire group or involve various combinations of family members. The process helps to foster group communication and problem solving skills. Family therapy can help family members to better understand each others’ needs and to provide for those needs.

Couples counseling, also called marriage counseling, is a type of psychotherapy which helps couples to recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Healthy relationships requires work and skills, including the ability to listen, communicate, negotiate, and empathize. Through marriage counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or, in some cases, going your separate ways.
