Therapy for families

Sometimes you just want to throw your hands up, exasperated, with your family (chosen or biological). They seem to know exactly the right buttons to push at all the wrong times. Maybe your family is struggling with symptoms of mental health problems, substance abuse, or even relationship difficulties.  Or you're trying to navigate changes to the family, such as someone coming out, or even gaining or losing family members. Or maybe there's a really difficult situation your family is experiencing and you don't want to feel alone in addressing the problem.

​

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts between family members.  One of the benefits of family therapy is that it provides a safe and supportive environment for family members to express themselves and work through their problems. Your therapist won't take sides, but will advocate for each member to be seen and have their voice heard.

​

It also helps to build stronger relationships between family members by promoting understanding, empathy, and cooperation. Additionally, family therapy can lead to better mental health outcomes for individuals and a more harmonious family dynamic overall. By addressing the underlying issues that contribute to family conflict, family therapy can help families to heal and thrive.
