Adolescent family therapy involves the entire family unit in addressing the mental health care needs of adolescents. This therapeutic process focuses on the family context, helping family members understand their roles in supporting the adolescent’s emotional health and well-being. It incorporates various therapeutic approaches, such as Bowenian family therapy, conjoint family therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-based family therapy, to address specific challenges and cycles in family interactions. Our family therapy program supports cooperation among family members and bonds between family members, helping to resolve conflicts between family members and build a cohesive family environment.
This type of therapy is especially beneficial for adolescents dealing with issues like teenage depression, bipolar disorder, behavioral disturbance, or body image concerns. Adolescents facing challenges at school, decline in school performance, or distressing life experiences often struggle with adolescent separation and relationships with parents.
