Family Therapy

Not at all. We don’t just offer family therapy for crises. It can be helpful for everyday stress, improving communication, managing life transitions, or simply strengthening bonds. Families often seek support before challenges escalate, using therapy as a proactive way to stay connected.

Common issues we approach with family therapy include:

• Communication problems
• Frequent conflict
• Parenting struggles
• Behavioral concerns with children or teens
• Grief and loss
• Mental health conditions
• Substance use
• Blended family dynamics
• Life transitions, like divorce or relocation

The length of therapy depends on your family’s goals, needs, and level of engagement. Some families may find meaningful progress in a few sessions, especially for specific issues. Others may continue for a longer period, especially when working through deeper patterns or ongoing transitions as part of their family therapy.

We may recommend family therapy when issues involve patterns of interaction, communication breakdowns, or challenges that affect multiple members. It’s particularly helpful when changes in one person’s behavior are influenced by or impacting the whole family system. Therapists may also suggest family sessions if progress in individual therapy reveals more complex relationship dynamics.

Yes, and it’s often beneficial. Many use both approaches at the same time. Individual therapy can help you explore personal thoughts and emotions, while family therapy provides a space to work on shared goals, relationships, and communication. Together, they support long-term growth for individuals and their families.
