“I have been bent and broken but I hope into a better shape”
- Charles Dickens
Family therapy utilizes various theoretical approaches to solving family problems. It employs the past to help heal the present by working to adjust the family system and how relationships are interwoven.
Family therapy is a tool used to cultivate and sustain healthy functional familial connections. A licensed clinician is required for Family Therapy and can only be provided in the state of that licensed therapist.
In our case, North Carolina.
