Family Therapy for Guilford

Every family faces a crisis at one point or another, and when that happens it can feel like the fabric of your family unit is splitting apart at the seams. If you are looking to strengthen the relationships within your family, then you should consider family counseling. Seeing a family therapist can help your family address and work through and solve problems. At Dr. Somaia Mohamed, we are licensed mental healthcare professionals offering family therapy for Guilford. With years of experience, no one understands better than we do how important it is to have healthy, functional family relationships. We are here to assist you in overcoming your problems and strengthening your relationships.

Why see a family therapist?

Certain life transitions, such as divorce, remarriage, and death can be difficult to adjust to, and can be particularly hard on children. This is because children do not possess the verbal skills necessarily to communicate their feelings, and instead bottle them up. A family counselor can help a child get in with and express the impact of the situation at hand. Additionally, family counseling can help with the following:

Improve communication

These days, with smartphones, televisions, and computers, it’s easier than ever to avoid dealing with an issue. Not addressing a problem, or worse – hiding from it, isn’t going to make it disappear. Family therapy offers an environment void of distractions, where family members are encouraged to explore and talk about their feelings.

Strengthen relationships

Children can have trouble adjusting to new circumstances. For instance, the birth of a new child may cause your first child to act out in a problematic way in order to get attention. A family therapist can help you understand your child’s behavior and find effective ways to improve their self-esteem.

Help with Divorce

Divorce can be a difficult and stressful time. Whether you’re getting a divorce due to infidelity, financial stressors, or communication problems, it important that you consider how the process of divorce will impact your children. A family therapist can serve as a guide through this difficult period to help both parties see clearly what the best move is for everyone.
