Family Psychotherapy
What Is Family Psychotherapy?
Every family faces challenges that can cause members to experience relationship struggles, conflicts, or mental stress. If these problems are difficult to manage, it might be best to seek professional help.
Family psychotherapy, also known as family therapy, is a specialized form of counseling that addresses emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues affecting family dynamics. Unlike individual therapy, which focuses on one person’s problems, family therapy deals with problems from a broader perspective, analyzing a family as a unit. The aim is to improve communication, conflict resolution, and general well-being.
Mid Cities Psychiatry offers structured and compassionate family psychotherapy in Euless, TX, to help families build strong connections and encourage mutual healing.

- If a member is facing any mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders
- Behavioral issues, e.g., communication problems, extreme anger, mood swings

Techniques of Family Psychotherapy
Our team of professionals combines several family counseling techniques to address relational challenges, improve communication, and enhance the emotional well-being of your loved ones. Family treatment includes:
Functional Family Therapy (FFT)
A therapy approach focusing on goal-determined problem solving with families of children with behavioral problems. The goal of FFT is to improve communication skills, develop parenting techniques, and promote positive behaviors in order to help families function more positively.
Marriage Counseling/Couples Therapy
Designed to resolve conflicts in relationships, including finances, child-rearing, and mental health issues. Services are provided by licensed marriage and family therapists.
Strategic Family Therapy
This family behavioral therapy focuses on change, targeting both the family member displaying problematic behavior and the overall family structure to accommodate and address that behavior. This approach is particularly effective for older children and adolescents exhibiting antisocial behavior, helping to restore order in the home.
Structural Family Therapy
Counselling a family focuses on improving family functioning by addressing hierarchy, boundaries, and relationship patterns. The therapist guides family members to engage in specific behaviors toward one another, helping them adopt more constructive roles and achieve healthier interactions.
Systemic Family Therapy
These forms of family sessions take into account the culture, society, and economy of the family members. This therapy helps your loved ones understand how these external influences shape their emotional health and psychological development.
Psychodynamic Techniques
Psychodynamic Techniques explore how family members understand and react to conflicts that occur in their family system. Through family sessions, the psychologist assists family members in understanding their hidden emotions, which leads to better emotional consciousness and helps in learning methods for constructive communication to enhance family bonds.
