Family
Therapy
Sometimes the people we are closest with and love the most are also the people we misunderstand and struggle with the most.
The feelings we have about our children are stronger than those we have toward any other person in our lives.
The connection children have with their parents is natural, innate and essential to survival. Together in therapy, we can explore and express emotions that have been too volatile to talk about at home.
Family therapy is a way that you can gain insight into each other’s thoughts and feelings. Together we can determine boundaries and ground rules that feel supportive and realistic. When used in conjunction with individual therapy, family therapy can add depth to the parent/child relationship.
We are here to help your family if you are struggling with:
Setting and enforcing rules and expectations
Honesty and trust
Respect and communication
Changes and transitions
Life decisions
Past or recent traumas
School attendance and performance
Death and loss
Emotion Regulation
FAQ
Can siblings be part of family therapy?
Yes! Family therapy is a chance to get support in healing any relationships that are feeling difficult.
How do we know when family therapy versus individual therapy is needed?
I am afraid family therapy will bring up problems that we won't be able to deal with when we get home. How do we make sure things will get better instead of worse?
It is very vulnerable to open up topics and feelings that you have not been able to deal with effectively at home. Our trained clinicians are here to help the communication to be productive, honest, and respectful. We are here to help guide the conversation in directions that will address underlying problems and identify patterns and cycles that exist.
