The past is present

individual & family therapy
Using a Strength Based & Cultural Framework, DHC emphasizes the importance of incorporating family members within its treatment process if available. Family therapy is a type of treatment designed to help with issues that specifically affect families' mental health and functioning. It can help individual family members build stronger relationships, improve communication, and manage conflicts within the family system.
