Stronger Families Begin With Better Understanding and Connection With One Another

Families can experience challenges that impact their communication and relationships. Whether your family is navigating conflict, parenting difficulties, behavioral concerns, life transitions, blended family adjustments, grief and loss, or the effects of stress and trauma, family therapy can provide a supportive space to work through these challenges together.

Why People Come to Family Therapy

Families come to therapy for a multitude of reasons. Every family is unique, as is every member inside of a family. Challenges can present themselves and often times we need someone to help us navigate them.

Here are some examples of times Family Therapy can help:

Communication has broken down. A family member has withdrawn. Someone is getting the silent treatment. Arguments and misunderstandings have become more frequent and/or more severe.
There has been a major life change or transition. Maybe a marriage or a divorce. A relocation or the loss of a job. Perhaps a retirement or the death of loved one.
Children or teens are struggling. Maybe they are having problems at school or behavioral issues. Maybe there are concerns around their mental health.
Conflict between siblings, or between parents and children. Sometimes it's just bickering, sometimes there is more to it.
A blended family adjustment. Combining of families can often present new challenges as everyone finds their place in this new family structure.
Addiction or substance use is impacting the household. This can be inside the household or involving another person who is impactful to the household.
A specific event has caused a shake up in the family. Maybe there was infidelity. Maybe a family member experienced trauma. Perhaps someone is facing legal trouble.
A family member is in individual therapy and their therapist has recommended involving the family in their treatment.
The family feels disconnected, but you can't pinpoint the reason.

What Can Family Therapy Achieve?

Family Therapy can help you to bridge the gap to one another.

We do this through communication and understanding, helping each family member to feel heard and understood by building healthier and more direct communication patterns.

Family Therapy can also help to reduce conflict and repair relationships.

We help you build the tools to resolve conflicts more effectively, rebuild trust, strengthen your boundaries, and treat each other with mutual respect.

Family Therapy can support individual wellbeing and resilience.

By learning to have empathy for each other and creating better coping mechanisms, you can reduce the stress or tension in your home. You can create a sense of stability and teamwork, and build skills that will continue to help you and your family for years to come.

How We Help

We help families improve their communication, strengthen their relationships, and develop healthier ways of interacting with one another. Family therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective, identifying patterns that may be contributing to conflict, and creating practical solutions that support connection with everyone in the family group.

We work with families to improve their problem solving skills, increase their emotional understanding, reduce conflict, and build stronger family relationships. Our goal is to help family members feel heard, respected, and supported while the family is creating the changes that they are looking for.
