Family Therapy

55-60 MINUTES $200-225

Family relationships are both wonderful and complex and are often the most important and formative relationships in our lives.  As such, conflict within the family often causes a significant amount of distress for all of the members of that family. If you are feeling stuck within your family relationships, family therapy can provide a space in which you can increase communication and connection, facilitate understanding, and gain clarity on how to better relate with one another.

Family therapy focuses on changing the way that we relate to one another so that we can experience increased closeness, connection, and understanding.  The entire family may be asked to attend every session, or sessions may include various family members at various times.  Individuals may also be asked to meet with the therapist one-on-one, although this is done in the interest of the entire family rather than a particular individual.  Family involvement is also frequently recommended for children and adolescents who are experiencing emotional distress or behavioral disturbance.

Reasons family members may choose to participate in family therapy include (but are not limited to): parent-child relationship conflict, co-parenting difficulties, adjusting to new children or siblings (by birth, adoption, or fostering), child or adolescent behavioral concerns, communication issues, unhealthy limits and boundaries, death of a family member, a life event or transition that impacts the entire family, strained in-law relationships, parental conflict, blending families, and divorce/separation.
