Question 1

What happens in family therapy?

Accepted Answer

If your family is new to therapy, it helps to know what you are signing up for. It depends on the therapist and on who is coming, so the clearest way to find out is to ask the person you are considering. A licensed therapist can explain how they set goals with a family. On Alma, you can browse therapists in Mesa who work with families.

Question 2

Who needs to attend family therapy?

Accepted Answer

You may be wondering whether to wait until everyone is on board. A therapist can explain whether they start with part of the family and how they bring others in later. Ask what they suggest for your situation. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Mesa who work with families and note how each one describes their setup.

Question 3

What if my teen or partner will not join family therapy?

Accepted Answer

You can begin with the people who are willing. A therapist can help you think about what to say to the family member who is holding back and when to try again. In Alma's Mesa directory, save a few therapists who work with families and ask each one how they handle a reluctant member.

Question 4

Will the therapist blame the parents?

Accepted Answer

Worrying about being blamed is fair, and you can ask about it directly before you book.

Question 5

Can younger children take part in family sessions?
