This type of counseling is intended for families who have relationship issues and need help dealing with these problems as a family unit or help dealing with an individual member of family who may have specific needs.

Sometimes a problem isn't part of just one person, but has roots in close relationships with others, especially family members. For instance, alcoholism is called a "family disease" because it affects the alcoholic's life and the life of those around him.

Family therapy can help family members resolve issues among each other. It also can help them adopt ways to help another family member get well. Family members can learn how actions and ways of communicating can worsen problems. With help, new and improved ways of communicating can be explored and practiced. Family therapy often is used when an adolescent has a problem with alcohol and substance abuse but can also be used in many other cases as well.

• Group therapy/ support groups-

In group therapy, people join in a group and discuss their problems together. The session is guided by a counselor. Members in the group often share the same problem, but not always. The group session provides a place where people can confide with others who understand their struggles. They also can learn how they see themselves and how they are seen by others. Members gain strength in knowing that they are not alone with their problems. Group therapy is useful for a variety of problems.
