What are marriage and family therapy?

Family therapy deals with challenges that impact the family unit as well as the needs of the individual members. You don’t have to be related by blood to be a family unit. Marriage therapy focuses on the relationship between committed partners.

Avighna Holistic Care can also provide therapy for unconventional families and those facing unique challenges. They offer children’s therapy and LGBTQ+ affirming care to meet everyone’s needs.

When should I pursue marriage and family therapy?

Consider marriage therapy if you and your partner experience emotional disconnection, recurring conflicts, and communication breakdowns. If one or both of you have thought about separating or divorcing, talk to the team at Avighna Holistic Care. Having a safe, confidential space to work through problems can make it easier to feel heard and understood.

This is also true for family therapy, which may be beneficial if your family faces difficulties like:

• Frequent misunderstandings
• Trouble expressing feelings or needs
• Blaming or scapegoating others
• Significant behavioral changes or problems
• Emotional problems
• Academic or social issues
• Struggling with substance use disorders
• Big changes, such as relocation, unemployment, or the death of a loved one

Additionally, your family may benefit from family therapy if you’re a blended working to healthily integrate.
