The PCH Treatment Center Family Program specializes in helping families and couples who are experiencing psychological, emotional and relational problems. In contrast to individual therapy, which is one therapist treating one client, family therapy involves one or more therapists involving multiple people in the therapeutic process (family members, partners, colleagues).
