Addiction and mental health challenges rarely affect just one person — they impact the entire family system. At Amity Palm Beach, we recognize that lasting recovery is often built on the foundation of healthy, supportive relationships. That’s why family therapy is a key part of our approach to treatment.

Whether you’re a parent, partner, sibling, or close friend, you play a vital role in your loved one’s healing. Family therapy helps bridge the gap between conflict and connection, creating space for open communication, trust-building, and long-term resilience.

What Is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a structured, guided process that brings loved ones into the recovery journey. Facilitated by licensed therapists, these sessions are designed to:

  • Improve communication and emotional understanding

  • Address patterns of enabling, avoidance, or blame

  • Rebuild boundaries and mutual respect

  • Educate families on addiction, mental health, and recovery

  • Reduce shame and increase empathy on all sides

Our clinicians help families move from chaos to clarity — creating a space where everyone feels heard, supported, and better equipped to grow together.

Why It Matters

When families are involved in treatment, outcomes improve. Studies show that individuals recovering from addiction or mental health conditions are more likely to stay sober and emotionally stable when their families are educated, engaged, and emotionally supported.

At Amity Palm Beach, we help families shift from reactive roles into active agents of healing — not just for their loved one, but for themselves as well.

Who Can Participate?

Family therapy isn’t just for parents. Depending on the client’s age, background, and needs, sessions may include:

  • Spouses or partners

  • Adult children or siblings

  • Close friends or chosen family

  • Other support figures identified by the client

Participation is always voluntary and guided with sensitivity to family dynamics and personal boundaries.
