LaMar Therapy PLLC
Family Systems
Therapy (FST)
At LaMar Therapy we offer Family Systems Therapy focusing on the individual and the family as a whole unit.
A central tenet of this approach is that a family is an emotional unit, and individual behavior must be considered from the context of the family. People are influenced by their family, but each person also influences their entire family. This approach also suggests that the family is more than the sum of its parts.
When something affects one member of the group, it can have a resounding impact on every other member of the family. For that same reason, the strength and stability of the family unit can provide balance and support when one family member is experiencing problems. In addition to taking into account the family system as a unit, this approach to therapy also considers how generational trauma influence individuals and families.
