Therapy
Family dynamics can be complex, and when challenges arise, they can impact every member. At Beenen Therapy Group, we offer family therapy to help you navigate conflicts, strengthen bonds, and improve communication within your family unit. Whether you're dealing with communication breakdowns, blended family adjustments, or other struggles, our therapists provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to work through issues together. Family therapy can help create healthier relationships, foster understanding, and promote harmony in your home. Let us help you build a stronger, more connected family.
Customized Support for Every Family Member
At Beenen Therapy Group, we understand that every family member has unique needs, especially when it comes to therapy. That’s why we offer the flexibility of individual therapy combined with the option for group family therapy.
​
Because we are a group practice with a diverse team of experienced therapists, each family member can work with a therapist that best matches their personality, needs, and therapeutic goals. Whether it’s a child, teen, or adult, our therapists offer specialized care for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and life transitions.
​
Once individual therapy sessions are underway, family members can come together for joint family therapy sessions with one of our therapists who specializes in family dynamics. This approach allows everyone to work on their personal challenges while also building stronger family relationships and improving communication under the guidance of a skilled family therapist.
​
Here’s how this approach benefits families:
-
Tailored Care: Each family member receives personalized therapy that’s specific to their needs, ensuring they get the support they deserve.
-
Better Communication: Individual therapy helps family members explore their own feelings, which makes it easier to communicate effectively during family therapy.
-
Holistic Healing: By combining individual therapy with family therapy, we ensure that everyone in the family gets the care they need while working toward the same goal—creating a healthier, more connected family unit.
-
Flexibility: With a range of therapists to choose from, families have the flexibility to find the right fit for each individual and come together in a way that’s best for everyone.
​
Whether you need one-on-one support or want to work on improving your family dynamics as a whole, our team is here to help you navigate the path to healing and growth. At Beenen Therapy Group, we provide the flexibility, expertise, and support to meet the unique needs of every family member.

Types of Therapy That Benefit Families
There are several therapeutic approaches specifically designed to address family dynamics, improve communication, and help families navigate challenges together.
Here are some types of therapy that can be particularly beneficial for families:
-
Structural Family Therapy (SFT):
This approach focuses on identifying and altering dysfunctional family structures and patterns. It helps families improve communication, establish healthier boundaries, and address issues related to power dynamics, rules, and roles within the family unit. -
Strategic Family Therapy:
Strategic family therapy is goal-oriented and focuses on resolving specific issues in the family, such as behavioral problems, conflict, or communication struggles. Therapists using this approach design interventions to shift family members’ behaviors, beliefs, and communication styles, leading to lasting change. -
Systemic Family Therapy:
This approach views the family as a system in which each member’s behavior affects the others. It helps families understand how their interactions, communication styles, and patterns influence one another. By changing how family members interact, systemic therapy can promote healthier relationships and emotional support. -
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT):
EFFT is designed to strengthen emotional bonds between family members by addressing underlying emotional needs and attachment issues. It’s especially beneficial for families dealing with conflict, trauma, or disconnection, as it fosters empathy and enhances emotional support. -
Narrative Therapy:
Narrative therapy encourages family members to reframe their stories by understanding how they perceive and respond to family issues. This approach helps families shift from problem-focused narratives to more empowering and supportive stories, fostering cooperation and mutual respect. -
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT):
PCIT is a specialized form of therapy designed for families with children, particularly those with behavioral or emotional difficulties. It focuses on improving the parent-child relationship by teaching parents effective communication strategies and discipline techniques while encouraging positive interactions and behavior. -
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Families:
CBT for families focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. It helps families understand how negative thought patterns contribute to conflicts or distress and equips them with practical tools to alter those patterns for healthier interactions. -
Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT):
ABFT is an evidence-based approach focused on improving attachment bonds within the family, particularly between parents and adolescents. It helps repair emotional connections, address issues such as teen depression or anxiety, and foster secure attachments between family members. -
Trauma-Focused Family Therapy:
When a family has experienced trauma—such as abuse, loss, or natural disasters—trauma-focused therapy helps process those experiences in a supportive environment. This type of therapy helps family members understand the impact of trauma and work together toward healing and recovery. -
Blended Family Therapy:
Blended families often face unique challenges related to merging different family structures, values, and expectations. Blended family therapy helps members adjust to their new roles, improve communication, and foster healthy relationships between step-parents, biological parents, and children.
​
Each of these therapeutic approaches is designed to address specific family challenges and improve overall family functioning. By working together with a trained family therapist, families can create healthier dynamics, build stronger emotional connections, and achieve lasting change.
If your family is facing challenges or simply looking to improve communication and understanding, family therapy can provide the guidance and support you need.
