Family Therapy

Working with a family therapist helps rebuild communication skills and positive family dynamics. Our style of family therapy involves building respect and boundaries in the home environment by examining relationships and communication patterns. 

The goal is for all family members to feel respected, heard, and valued. With the creation of a safe space within our sessions, family members (especially children and teens) feel that they can explore their feelings and thoughts in a way that they are typically unable to.

As family therapists, we believe that each individual plays a role in creating the family dynamic that exists. Even when we work individually with a client, we are paying close attention to a their upbringing, relationships and related experiences.

Our family therapists provide support for our families going through power struggles, separation, divorce, infidelity, trauma, life transitions, conflict management, emotional reactivity, estrangement, anger, and boundary-setting.

Sometimes parents and children have a particularly hard time seeing eye to eye and interacting with one another.

All of our therapists have backgrounds in child development, and enjoy meeting with parents to discuss strategies, tools, and resources that can be used to improve the parent-child relationship and tackle problem behavior. With older children, Parent-Child Relational Therapy might be most appropriate, where the child is incorporated into the session. During this form of therapy, we may act as a “coach” and help guide communication.

Sometimes it takes neutral ground and a trusted facilitator to have healing and meaningful interactions again.
