Families are the building block of society and those relationships are vital to our healing.  Even though you can't pick your family, you can pick how you treat each other and how you help build each other up.  Family therapy focuses on helping the whole family be heard; helping parents to be united in their parenting and adjusting to the different phases of raising children.  It helps children find a voice for thoughts or feelings that can't be effectively expressed and brings the family closer together.
