FAQs
Can I attend counseling sessions individually for family issues?
Yes, individual sessions can be very beneficial for addressing personal aspects of family issues. Individual therapy allows you to explore your feelings, perspectives, and challenges in a private setting. While individual progress can positively impact family dynamics, addressing issues as a family unit in subsequent sessions might also be recommended to facilitate collective understanding and healing.
How do you ensure that all parties are equally represented during counseling?
At MellaHealth, we emphasize creating a balanced and neutral space where all parties are equally heard and valued. Our therapists are trained to manage sessions in a way that prevents any one voice from dominating the conversation and ensures that each individual’s perspectives and feelings are acknowledged and addressed. The goal is to facilitate a constructive dialogue where everyone feels safe and respected.
How do you handle situations where family members are reluctant to participate?
At MellaHealth, we respect each individual’s feelings and readiness towards therapy. We can work with willing members to explore ways to encourage participation from others and may also explore the underlying reasons for the reluctance. Additionally, we can provide support on how to navigate the family dynamics in the absence of full participation.
Will our therapy sessions be confidential?
Yes, therapy sessions for family or relationship therapy are confidential. MellaHealth therapists adhere to HIPAA compliant strict confidentiality guidelines to ensure your privacy is protected.
