Family Therapy

All families experience stress. But when difficulties seem too large to manage, it may be hard to know which way to turn. Family therapy can help.

Program Objective:

To help families make use of their strengths and resources to solve problems within their families.

Service Philosophy

We work with families and professionals to deliver the kind of services families require when they are in search of a new direction.

We believe that:

• Families have the capacity for growth and change.
• Family members have strengths and resources to solve their own problems.

 

Referrals

Families can request services directly. As well referrals are made by Child and Family Services, teachers, counsellors, doctors, community agencies and former clients. Families are eligible for services having a child under the age of 18 years old.

Services for Professionals

High-quality service delivery to professionals means high-quality service to families.

The Family Therapy Program offers professionals: 

• Telephone or in-person consultations regarding potential or ongoing referrals.
• Training in Family Systems Interventions
• Workshops on issues affecting families
• Masters practicum placement (limited to 1 to 2 students)

 

Services for Families:

Depending on the need of the family, we will work the whole family, the couple, siblings or an individual; we may also refer to our Teen or Parent Support Group.

Our counselling deals with a range of issues:

• changes in families
• sexual abuse
• physical aggression
• adjustment to separation, divorce and remarriage
• addictions issues
• anger and anxiety issues
