how we treat
Family Therapy
Mental health disorders affect not only the person with the diagnosis but their family members and loved ones as well. Family therapy provides a supportive space to foster healing, improve communication, and strengthen relationships within the family unit.
Family therapy at Pasadena Villa
Pasadena Villa includes individual family therapy as part of the treatment process — at the appropriate point in the recovery journey. This may occur via phone, video, or in person and includes education, coaching, advocacy, and therapy to help create change.
The client and their loved ones can discuss problems in a safe space of vulnerability while expressing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Ultimately, the goal is healthier, happier relationships that support and nurture all involved and benefit the client’s long-term success.
The role of family in the treatment journey
Caring for a family member with a serious mental illness can be draining and consuming. Often, in the search for answers, solutions, and care, the well-being of other family members can get overlooked.
However, the impact of attention focused on a sibling, the strain on parents, and even the effects of family dynamics on the patient all play a role in the loved one’s mental health and treatment. That’s why including family in the treatment process is usually beneficial.
What is family therapy?
Mental health challenges affect the entire family, not just the individual, making it crucial to address these issues collectively. Without family involvement, those in treatment may return to environments that trigger unhealthy patterns or behaviors.
At Pasadena Villa, we believe families can overcome dysfunction and achieve a healthy balance. Our family therapy services — including individual family sessions and our Family Dynamics Group — focus on strengthening relationships and promoting positive, healthy communication.
