2. Education & Experience of Therapist Therapists often have doctoral degrees, such as PhDs, PsyDs in psychology or an MD in psychiatry, or a master’s degree in social work, counselling or a related discipline. Many are members of professional organizations and have certifications and licenses in different forms of therapy. When choosing a therapist, make sure that their credentials show professional experience and training in family therapy.

3. Location and Availability • If you are looking for a family therapist in your area, be sure that their location is convenient for you and open during the hours you need them. • The Perth therapy practice at the Energetics Institute has its office in Inglewood, Western Australia, a suburb of Perth. We are open from 10 AM to 7 PM from Monday through Saturday, providing convenient access for residents of Perth and nearby towns and cities.

4. Length and Number of Sessions How many sessions a client needs will depend on their progress and the complexity of the issues they need to address.

5. Fees & Insurance Paying for mental health services can be an additional source of stress and an obstacle to obtaining quality mental health care. Compare prices and enquire about insurance when considering potential therapists.

6. What to Expect in Family Therapy? Knowing everything you need to know about family therapy also means knowing what it can offer you. Family therapy aims to promote positive family interactions and supportive relationships within families that help to minimize the adverse effects of mental illness, provide coping skills, and reduce the stressors that negatively affect the quality of life. To promote awareness of our therapeutic approach at the Energetics Institute, we want to teach you everything you need to know about family therapy.

7. How Does Family Therapy Work? There are many different ways to implement and structure family therapy. Ideally, at some point, there should be face-to-face meetings with family members to discuss the situation and to allow the therapist to observe and reflect upon social interactions. There will also be individual consultations with the client. Virtual meetings might enable therapists to involve other family members if group meetings are not feasible.

8. Family Therapy Exercises During family therapy, clients and their families might participate in therapeutic exercises such as: • Role-Playing • Group Discussions • Circular Questioning • Art Therapy • Music Therapy • Psychoeducation • Skills Training

9. Benefits of Family Therapy Family therapy can benefit clients and their families in many ways, such as: • Promoting healthy bonds between family members • Nurturing family structures where every person has a say • Providing support to clients with mental illness • Understanding and addressing sources of stress and toxicity in family relationships
