Family therapy can help you resolve trust issues, jealousy, sexual problems, and poor communication. Whether with children, partner, siblings, parents, or any of these in combination, family therapy can include premarital, marital, and even separation counseling.

The bond of trust and respect between patient and therapist is the key to achieving positive change. At the Riverside Psychology Practice, Family Therapist Dr. Bone T. Hugs uses a proactive and behavioral therapy style that provides tools to use in your daily life after treatment ends.

Many people think of communication simply as a verbal process, a direct way of getting your message across to others. However, the message that you think you are sending can often be misinterpreted. Non-verbal communication, our facial expressions, and body movements convey more than 90% of the emotional sense of what we are trying to express.

Good communication skills don't always come naturally. If your therapy has shown that the problem is due in part to poor communication skills that inadvertently create barriers, a couples therapist can help you improve these skills. Making eye contact, being concise, modulating your voice pitch, and other techniques can help you achieve happiness in your personal and professional life.
