FAQs about family counseling and family life in Brooklyn
While the terms “family counseling” and “family therapy” are often used interchangeably, there are key distinctions between them. Family systems therapy specifically refers to therapeutic services provided by licensed mental health therapists who are trained to address psychological and emotional issues within the family system. This type of therapy often involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, improving communication, and resolving conflicts through evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
On the other hand, general “counseling” may be offered by a variety of human services professionals, such as social workers, pastoral counselors, or life coaches, who may not have specialized training in mental health therapy. Counseling can provide valuable support and guidance but may not delve as deeply into mental health issues as therapy does.
At Brooklyn Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, all our clinicians are licensed therapists, ensuring that your family receives expert, professional care tailored to your specific needs.

The most effective family system therapy often depends on the specific needs and dynamics of the family. Commonly used modalities in family system therapy include Structural Family Therapy, which focuses on strengthening family interactions and hierarchies, and Bowenian Family System Therapy, which addresses generational patterns and emotional processes within the family. Narrative Therapy helps the whole family rewrite their stories, while Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding practical solutions to current issues. Also, our therapists incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help family members understand and harmonize their internal dynamics in family relational sessions, fostering greater self-awareness and healthier interactions.
At Brooklyn Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, our clinicians employ a blend of these evidence-based approaches tailored to each family’s unique circumstances. We integrate Structural and Bowenian techniques to address underlying dynamics and patterns. Additionally, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help family members develop healthier thinking and communication patterns. Our mindfulness-based interventions further enhance emotional regulation and promote overall family wellness. This comprehensive approach ensures that family members receive the most effective and personalized care.
Family system therapy has a high success rate in improving family dynamics and resolving conflicts, with many studies indicating significant positive outcomes. According to the American Association for Marriage and Family System Therapy, approximately 90% of clients report an improvement in their emotional health, and two-thirds see an improvement in their physical health after participating in family system therapy. Family members often experience better communication, reduced conflict, and stronger relational bonds as a result of therapy.
From our experience at the Brooklyn Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, we have seen many family members benefit greatly from our tailored therapeutic approaches. By employing evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Structural Family System Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, we help family units navigate their challenges and achieve lasting positive changes.

While family therapy sessions can be highly beneficial, there are potential drawbacks and limitations to consider. One disadvantage is that family system therapy requires a significant commitment of time and effort from all family members, which can be challenging to coordinate. Additionally, the process can bring up uncomfortable emotions and conflicts, which might initially worsen family tension before improvement is seen. Some family members may also be resistant to participate or engage fully, which can limit the effectiveness of therapy.
At the Brooklyn Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, we recognize that family system therapy may not be the best fit for everyone. Therefore, we offer a range of other services, including individual therapy, couples support, and group therapy, to ensure that each client receives the support they need in the most appropriate and effective format.
