What is family and couples counseling?

Family and couples counseling are mental health therapy options. 


Family counseling

Family counseling helps your family improve relationships. Sessions include you, your partner, children, parents, or other relatives. This type of counseling embraces a group of anyone you consider family. 

Family counseling helps the group deal with relationship problems and other challenges. Additionally, family counseling can focus on supporting an individual within the family. For example, if you’re struggling, family counseling can help your family understand your challenges and learn how to support you.


Couples counseling

Couples counseling focuses on the needs of your partnered relationship. Sessions include both you and your partner. Like family counseling, couples counseling is unique to the needs of your relationship. It gives you and your partner tools to improve your relationship. Couples counseling helps you act as a “we,” not just two individuals. 

What does family and couples counseling help with?

Family and couples counseling cover various topics and can help with many challenges. Some of the most common reasons that families and couples seek help include: 

  • Fractured family relationships
  • Infidelity
  • Divorce
  • Death of a loved one
  • Challenges of blended families
  • A family member with a critical medical condition 
  • Life transitions like retirement, military transition to civilian life, or relocating
  • A family member battling addiction
  • A family member struggling with their mental health

Family and couples counseling is different for every couple or family. Bridges takes the time to understand your problems, helps your group set goals, and guides you through a customized treatment plan. 

Do I need individual or family and couples counseling?

Mental health and substance abuse struggles are challenging for you but these problems also affect the other people in your life. 

You need personalized support to guide you through your difficulties, but it’s also important to give your loved ones the support they need. That’s why many people choose individual, as well as family and couples counseling. 

Individual counseling helps improve your mental health and gives you ongoing support. It focuses squarely on your needs versus your relationships.

Couples or family counseling helps you and your loved ones understand one another better. It improves communication skills and helps strengthen your relationships.
