Family and Marital Therapy

Palos Community Hospital offers marital and family therapy designed to teach individuals to improve communication, provide more support to each other and understand one another's interactions, all essential to achieving nurturing relationships.

Most people want to have loving and fulfilling relationships, whether it be with a spouse, children or other family members. But often, the heavy demands of day-to-day responsibilities can pull at the fabric of a marriage and family, causing stress and conflict. Such problems as demanding work schedules, serious or prolonged illness, substance abuse, and infidelity, are difficult to weather if there is not a strong base of communication and understanding. Furthermore, raising children can be difficult even under ideal situations, but it can be more challenging in single-parent or blended families.

Seeking help from a trained professional is sometimes necessary to uncover the problems and find out how to address them appropriately, preventing small issues from becoming insurmountable ones.
