Child therapy

 Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help your family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.

 Family therapy is usually provided by a psychologist, clinical social worker or licensed mental healthcare therapist. 

 Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a therapist with clinical experience working with couples, helps two people involved in a romantic relationship gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflict and improve relationship satisfaction.

 All psychological problems, and all psychological changes, involve both individual symptoms (behavior, emotions, conflicts, thought processes) and changes in interpersonal relationships. 

Couples therapy focuses on the problems existing in the relationship between two people.  

Studies indicate couples therapy can have a marked positive impact on relationships. 

Research evaluating changes in marital satisfaction after therapy shows approximately 48% of couples reach improvement or full recovery in relationship satisfaction after 5 years. 

Approximately 38% of couples experienced relationship deterioration, and 14% remained unchanged over the same period. 

Couples therapy is most effective when both partners are committed to improving their relationship and sticking to the treatment plan. 

The approach is much less effective if one partner refuses to participate in treatment or the relationship is violent or abusive. 

Effectiveness of couples therapy is also reduced when those in the relationship only expect their partner to change. 

The more open each member of the relationship is to reflecting on their own perspectives and habits, the more effective couples therapy will be.
