Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that deals with intimate problems within a familial unit. As a result, therapeutic support improves communication between family members.

In family therapy, licensed family therapists or family counselors meet with individual members, the family as a whole, or a combination. This allows each person to express their concerns, and also supports the family in communicating with each other as a group. Self-expression and positive communication techniques foster empowerment within the family, and support each family member’s emotional development.
