Family therapy strengthens relationships and improves communication within the family to resolve conflicts and foster a supportive environment.

Family Therapy with Dr. Nikoo

Dr. Nikoo approaches family therapy with the understanding that families function as interconnected systems, governed by established rules, roles, and expectations. Each family member plays a critical role in maintaining the harmony and functionality of the system. However, when conflicts arise, they can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to dysfunction and emotional distress within the family unit.

Understanding Family Systemso

In a family system, the behaviors and emotions of one member can significantly impact the entire family. This interconnectedness means that issues affecting one person often reverberate throughout the family, influencing everyone’s well-being. Families can develop either functional or dysfunctional dynamics. A dysfunctional family dynamic often arises when conflicts are not effectively managed, leading to ongoing tension and disharmony.

Identifying Sources of Conflict

Family conflicts can stem from a variety of sources, including communication breakdowns, unresolved past issues, differing expectations, and external stressors. Dr. Nikoo works diligently to uncover the root causes of these conflicts, exploring them from multiple perspectives. Each family member is given the opportunity to express their views and feelings, providing a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
