Dr. Sathiya Ganesan, Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, integrates Family Therapy into his care model to promote deeper understanding, emotional connection, and lasting change.ost naturally — through play.
Understanding Family Therapy
Healing Together by Listening, Expressing, and Reconnecting

Family Therapy is not about blaming — it’s about understanding how each person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect the family as a whole. It creates space for families to grow stronger together, especially when dealing with:
- Emotional or behavioral issues in children or teens
- Mental health diagnoses (anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc.)
- Parental stress or burnout
- Sibling rivalry or lack of cooperation
- Separation, divorce, or remarriage transitions
- Grief, trauma, or chronic illness in the family
- Communication breakdowns or frequent conflicts
This therapy emphasises shared responsibility, mutual respect, and open dialogue, helping families find healthier ways to support each other.
Signs a Family May Benefit from Therapy
- Frequent arguments or emotional disconnection
- Parents feeling helpless or overwhelmed
- One child’s behaviour affects the entire household
- Lack of communication or emotional shutdown
- Children feel misunderstood or unheard
- Parenting disagreements or boundary confusion
- Struggles during transitions (school, adolescence, relocation, etc.)
Family Therapy helps families break negative cycles and build new patterns of connection and support.
How Dr. Ganesan Approaches Family Therapy
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan offers a calm, non-judgmental environment where families are guided to:
- Explore each member’s experiences and emotions
- Identify unhealthy communication or behavior patterns
- Strengthen empathy and active listening
- Establish clear boundaries and respectful roles
- Improve conflict resolution skills
- Support the child or teen’s mental health through family involvement
His sessions are collaborative, structured, and emotionally safe — allowing families to reconnect with honesty and compassion.
When Is Family Therapy Most Helpful?
Family Therapy is especially valuable when:
- A child or teen is undergoing individual therapy or psychiatric treatment
- A diagnosis (e.g., autism, OCD, depression) affects family functioning
- Parents feel isolated, blamed, or confused
- There is a history of trauma, loss, or separation
- Multiple siblings are impacted by emotional tension or school issues
Healing happens faster and more sustainably when the entire family is part of the solution.
What to Expect During Family Therapy Sessions
- Joint sessions with the entire family (or selected members)
- Opportunity for each person to share perspectives
- Identification of shared goals and strengths
- Role-plays, communication exercises, or guided discussions
- Homework tasks for practicing change between sessions
- Emotional coaching and problem-solving strategies
Dr. Ganesan ensures every voice is heard, and every emotion is respected.
