Family counseling is a type of therapy focused on resolving issues that impact a family’s well-being and overall dynamics, helping to restore harmony and improve relationships. It provides a safe, judgment-free space for family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships under the guidance of a trained therapist.

Metro Atlanta Family Counseling
For many people, there is nothing more important or special than family. But navigating family relationships and issues can also be stressful. For families of all shapes and sizes, family counseling can have a very positive impact. At CNSL, our therapists provide family counseling services that focus on communication, problem-solving, empathy, and improving your relationships. Reach out to us today to learn more about how our services can help your family grow stronger.
Why Do Families Seek Counseling Services?
There are a variety of reasons why a family may seek family counseling services. These include, but are not limited to:
- Death of a loved one
- Addiction/substance abuse issues
- Domestic abuse
- Divorce
- Child behavioral issues
- Teen behavioral issues
- Parent-child communication issues
- General communication issues
- Major changes—i.e., Moving to a new location, etc.
Families may seek counseling services simply because they are experiencing tension or chaos in the home without any obvious identifiable reason. Working with a professional therapist to develop healthy habits and communication skills can help families address minor issues before they become more serious.
There are many ways that families can benefit from counseling. You may think about family counseling if you are a parent who is struggling to connect with your child or your child is having behavioral issues or mental health issues; you and your partner are struggling to connect in your romantic relationship or have a source of conflict that needs to be resolved; siblings are fighting nonstop; or the family is dealing with a major change or conflict. Family counseling can also be helpful when the family is experiencing trauma, such as the death of a loved one.
How Does Family Counseling Work?
Going to counseling for the first time can be intimidating, and some families may feel like going to counseling is unnecessary. But family counseling can be a very positive experience. The purpose of family counseling is to help you and your family members understand one another, improve your communication tools, and learn to work together to solve problems and move your relationships forward in a positive way.
Family counseling can work in a variety of ways and will be based on a structure that works best for your family. Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is often highly effective for families, but other techniques may also be incorporated. Each member of the family may meet with the therapist individually in addition to all-family sessions. Or, select members of the family may meet together for every session. Family counseling may be for couples, parents, a child and parent together, siblings, or other family relationships.
