Counselors may offer opportunities for your partner or other family members to join your individual session, once or twice. This can provide an opportunity for your family members to learn more about your needs and ways to best support you during your treatment. Couples or family therapy can coincide with individual therapy. 

Couples and family therapy can help with:

• Improved communication needs
• Partner distress
• Problem solving skills
• Family transitioning challenges
• Expectations after the deployment
• Family changes during the deployment
• Numbing or avoidance in family interactions
• Sleep disturbances
• Child behavioral concerns
• Family violence or domestic abuse
• Managing stress as a family
• PTSD and the family
