family counseling
Domestic relationship guidance
Family counseling is a form of therapy that treats a family unit rather than individuals separately.
A counselor helps family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and address dysfunction in their relationships.
The approach recognizes that problems often arise from family dynamics rather than any single member: After the divorce, we started family counseling to help the kids adjust.
