Advantages and Disadvantages

Bringing the family into the picture for family counseling creates an entirely new dynamic. The degree of functionality and support in the family structure has its pros and cons in a person’s life.

Upbringing is one of the most significant determining factors in what type of person we become. Our childhood also affects how we view our world (our paradigm). Also, upbringing may determine how a person will raise their children in the future.

Your parents taught you by their words and example. Your siblings may have had a tremendous effect on you and how you will parent and handle situations. Family systems therapy is paramount for healing individuals and families, also learn more about our intensive outpatient therapy program. Family therapy can lead to new interactions and new understandings amongst siblings and parents which can bring about new types of feelings and beliefs for the individual going through treatment as well as the rest of the family.

Family Structure

Something essential for us to keep in mind is that we should never attempt to conquer extensive trials on our own.

Connection breeds change.

Family Therapy Brings Families Together
Connecting families through family therapy.

We need compassion, empathy, and love to reach new heights. When this comes from within the family structure, it is powerful. Whether you are working towards sobriety, overcoming anxiety and depression, attempting to better relationships, or trying to overcome unwanted or destructive behaviors, having parents and siblings to aid you in that process can make a world of difference. Giving a therapist the opportunity to engage with the entire family can lead to accelerated effects and results.

Without the opportunity to speak to the rest of the household, a therapist can never be acutely aware of the issues that are recurring and cycling within the family. They have no power to do anything about it without access to them.

How will we help you go about solidifying and repairing family ties?

Due to our education and experience within the field, we understand how to help a family develop real and functional structure. As a family or as individuals, we can’t make something better if we are not aware that there is a problem or if we don’t know how to better our situation.

Family Therapy can help you, and your family repair strained relationships and improve how well the family works together. Family therapy Utah is generally short-term, lasting less than six months. However, your treatment plan will be based on what issues your family is dealing with and the readiness of the family to participate. Soon your family can begin to heal emotional wounds, understand one another better, and restore a sense of harmony that your family may not have felt for a very long time.

Our Goal ... Help You!

Our job at Utah Family Therapy is to help you discuss and assess honestly what is going well in the family structure and what isn’t. From here, we can start growing and developing new habits. Some changes may be uncomfortable, but once the first steps are taken, things become smoother and more comfortable over time.

We help your family develop a well-functioning disciplinary system. It sounds funny, but one of the ways we do this is by facilitating a process of having the children in the family design the disciplinary system.

Once we’ve established healthy guidelines for kids, we have found that often they are quite capable of forming realistic rule-systems to set boundaries and lead household activities.

Intervention

Interventions can be useful. Having the family host a meeting where they discuss concerns about the individual who is experiencing troubles can sometimes lead to growth. We find that too often these types of discussions can be profoundly shamingFamily talk is essential, more importantly, is that you talk to them the right way.

We Believe in Change

We Believe In Change Family Therapy
Family therapy helps everyone communicate their emotions in a healthy and productive way.

We believe in “Positive Language.”

Genuine compassion, empathy, and positive regard motivate change. Shame too often leads to positive short-term results with negative long-term consequences. Encourage and guide family members in a positive way to share their painful feelings and discuss, new circumstances and powerful new ties can begin to emerge.

Family Therapy Provides Hope for Healing

Utah Family Therapy works with youth, adults, and families. We understand that your child is not the only one suffering. As parents, you care about your kids and family more than words can describe. Watching them suffer means that you too are suffering. We are here for you, your child, and your family. We’re here to help you!

We know that there are circumstances that require more knowledge or effort than you have the strength to give. We can help you develop the culture, the know-how to help inspire a new life for you and your child. Family therapy is not meant to be continuous therapy; it is intended to give you and your family what you need to create a new life, now.

We’re here to help you find hope in your future. You’re not alone!

UTAH FAMILY THERAPY'S UNFILTERED MISSION STATEMENT

Lets face it, who likes to talk about their crap with other people? 

If you’re like most clients, you’re used to being judged despite hearing so many people talk about non judgment and when you do open up, it seems like the more you share, the less likely you are to get compassion. 

We’ve worked our butts off to create a clinic where the unfiltered, real you, can show up and heal, so dammit give therapy a chance

We love the unfiltered real you, let’s heal together. – Utah Family Therapy Team
