Family Therapy
Our trained clinicians help families grow closer together.
Grow together.
We offer family therapy to children ages 12+ and their parents. Family therapy can be an effective tool in improving communication, trust, bonding, understanding, and attachment. All of this together often improves mood and behavior in the child as well as other members of the household.
Typically, family therapy is done in conjunction with individual therapy for the child and possibly other family members. Family therapy is designed to focus on your family’s strengths and goals, helping you to grow together as one.
Family therapy is available on a limited basis due to high demand. At this time, we are unable to offer couples counseling.
Supporting parents.
Family therapy can also be provided with just a child’s caregivers present to improve an understanding of the child’s inner world as well as ways to support the child with their mental health and behavioral struggles. Our clinic specializes in teaching therapeutic parenting skills for children who have experienced trauma, parental separation, loss, and other stressors. This is a non-traditional parenting approach that focuses on helping children to feel safe and confident in making healthy decisions rather than simply punishing children into compliance - which often does not work!
Our family therapy techniques use the work of Karyn Purvis, Bessel van der Kolk, Sarah Naish, Dan Siegel, Peter Levine, Dan Hughes, Ross Greene, and others.
