Family therapy is a form of therapy in which several family members attend sessions together. Its view is that one person's difficulty is often tied to how the whole family communicates, and changing those patterns can help everyone.
In migrant families, parents and children sometimes adapt to a new culture at different speeds. That gap can lead to misunderstanding and tension. Family therapy in Persian offers a space where every generation can be heard.
Something else may fit better if…
In the first sessions the therapist gets to know family members and asks each person how they see the problem. Sometimes everyone attends together, sometimes only some members.
The therapist pays attention to communication patterns: who speaks, who stays quiet, how arguments start and end. They then help the family try new ways of listening, expressing feelings and resolving conflict.
Simple exercises for home may be suggested, such as a set time for talking or clearer household rules.
Online family sessions often last around 50 to 90 minutes and usually take place every one or two weeks. Members can sit together or join from several homes, even several countries.
When children or teens attend, parents play an important role in creating a safe atmosphere, and the therapist makes sure younger voices are heard too. Change is usually gradual.
Examples are fictional and illustrative.
The Ahmadi parents worried their daughter was drifting away from Iranian culture, while she felt misunderstood. In family sessions each person had a chance to voice fears and needs, and the family reached some new agreements. This example is fictional.
After the grandmother died, each family member grieved differently, which created resentment. Sessions helped them accept these differences and support one another. This story is invented.
Mahsa moved in with her new husband, bringing her child. Roles were unclear and arguments frequent. Family therapy helped them talk through rules and each person's place. This example is only illustrative.
