What do Family Psychologists do?

Family Psychologists, also known as Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs), diagnose and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral issues by focusing on the dynamics and relationships within a family or couple system. 

They help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and develop healthier ways of interacting, particularly during stressful life events like divorce, the death of a loved one, or when dealing with a family member’s mental or physical illness.  

What they do

Assess and Diagnose: They evaluate clients’ emotional, behavioral, and psychological needs within the context of their relationships. 

Facilitate Communication: They help family members develop better ways to express themselves and understand each other’s perspectives. 

Reduce Conflict: They identify problematic patterns and guide families toward more constructive ways of resolving disagreements. 

Develop Coping Skills: They teach families strategies to manage stressors, cope with significant life changes, and address mental or physical illnesses that affect the family unit. 

Address Specific Issues: Their work can involve helping with issues such as addiction, depression, parenting challenges, child behavioral problems, or the effects of trauma. 

Create Treatment Plans: They develop personalized plans to help clients develop coping strategies, improve decision-making skills, and adapt to challenging circumstances. 

Who they work with

Family psychologists work with a variety of clients and situations, including:

Individuals: Even when working with one person, they use a family systems approach to understand how family dynamics affect that individual’s mental health. 

Families: To improve overall family dynamics and address issues like sibling rivalry or parent-child conflict. 

Couples: To address relationship dissatisfaction, infidelity, or difficulties during separation or divorce.
