Deciding on individual therapy is a personal choice. There are many reasons why people seek out therapy. They may want to deal with long-standing issues that have been bothering them or it could be a new event such as the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, or work changes. Seeking advice from outside of yourself can help to bring you relief in sharing the problem with the therapist.
There are times in every marriage when the help of an outside and unbiased counselor can be priceless. Marriage can be difficult because we get into habits that aren't helpful to create a strong relationship. As humans, we often have difficult letting go of painful experiences and it can interfere with the marriage.
Family therapy or family counseling is used to address issues that are happening within the family as a whole. Each member is affecting the others and the actions of one can have far reaching consequences, which create success or failure for the entire group. Families can benefit from therapy when they experience an event that places a strain on the relationships.
Just as adults, children can benefit from therapy. Many kids need help dealing with stress and peer issues. It's also good to have an adult, who is not your parent, to talk to. Major issues like divorce or internally family matters, can be handled in a way to bring harmony to the child and the family.
