Saber Psychiatry offers comprehensive psychiatric care for all family members under one treatment team. Family therapy is an excellent resource for a family member, or multiple family members undergoing treatment for mental health conditions. In family therapy sessions, the family works with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist or another qualified professional.
In therapy, the therapist works with the family to explore coping mechanisms and tools for working through challenging situations at home. Family therapy sessions are designed to give family members coping strategies and tools to use to bring about positive results.
The Cleveland Clinic identifies the following mental health conditions that benefit from family therapy. Family therapy can be beneficial if a family member has any of the following mental health conditions:
- Anxiety disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Eating disorders, such as anorexia
- Mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder and depression
- Personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Substance use disorder
It can also help childhood behavioral conditions, such as:
- Conduct disorder
- Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)
- Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
Families who have neurodivergent members, such as someone with an autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also often participate in therapy.
