Family Therapy at Infinity Kids
Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling that helps family members resolve conflicts. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. During the course of treatment participants may be matched or paired in different ways in order to address specific family dynamics. Family therapy is often short term, and might be needed from time to time in order to address isolated challenges. Because Family therapy is a type of talk therapy, it is important that children are able to express thoughts and feelings verbally. Younger kids may benefit from other individual services at Infinity Kids, along with their caregivers’ participation in couples counseling and parenting education. Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family’s situation.

- 50 minute Assessment: review reasons for referral, history of presenting problems, communication style, and history of mental health.
- 50 minute coaching session: discuss family treatment plan, and learn parenting styles, positive communication, and argue smart techniques.

Why Family Therapy:
The predicted outcome of family therapy will depend on early recognition of concerns, prompt access to services, and caregivers’ engagement and participation. Because brain architecture depends on both genetic and environmental factors, it is crucial that in the course of treatment parents learn to create a safe and nurturing environment for their children. In terms of outcomes as measured by the success and regression rates, evidence shows that families treated by MFTs had higher success and lower regression rates compared to pediatric patients receiving individual services alone.
Through psychoeducation, our Family Therapist helps parents of young children develop a set of skills to adequately and effectively meet their toddlers’ emotional needs.
