family therapist

Domestic relations mediator

A family therapist is a mental health professional who treats psychological and behavioral problems within the context of family relationships.

Rather than focusing on individuals in isolation, family therapists work with couples, parents and children, or entire households to address communication patterns, conflicts, and dysfunction: Our family therapist helped us understand how we were all contributing to the tension.
