Family Therapy

What is family therapy?

Family Therapy gives everyone a space to talk honestly, repair trust, and learn healthier ways to relate. 

Is family therapy only for families with teens?

Not at all. Family therapy can be really helpful for adult children and their parents. As families grow and change, old roles don’t always work anymore, and family therapy can help find new ways to understand each other.

Who comes to session?

Family therapy can include different members of the family. Sometimes everyone comes together. Other times, I may meet mostly with the parents to support them in understanding and parenting their child. 

My teen's individual therapist is recommending family therapy, do we do both?

That’s often ideal.  Many teens keep their individual therapist and use family therapy when tough conversations with parents need more support.  It creates a space where everyone can talk things through without the usual shutdowns or arguments.

What if I want more support?

Raising a struggling adolescent can be emotionally exhausting, and having a dedicated space to process your own stress, fears, and reactions often benefits not only you, but your entire family.


Parent Support Therapy is designed to support the well-being of parents while also offering practical guidance for navigating the challenges of adolescence.  


Families often function best when the people carrying the greatest responsibilities have a place to feel supported as well.

What's the next step?

Reach out through the contact form and share a little about what’s going on for you right now. Whether you’re seeking adult family therapy, family counseling, or teen therapy, we’ll set up a free 15–20 minute call to get a feel for things and see if working together makes sense.
