How do we know if we need family therapy?

Somtimes it’s hard to tell. We can help with that.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

  • Changes in the family unit (divorce and separation, or blending two families together)

  • Death of loved one (complicated grief, lacking support system) 

  • Distressed relationships (one or more members struggle to get along)

  • Estranged relationships (one or more members no longer communicate)

  • Generational or cultural conflicts (age gaps, language barriers, cultural assimilation issues)  

  • Family dynamic conflicts (triangulation, differentiation, or emotional cut-off problems) 

  • Parenting challenges (stress or difficulty in the parent-child relationship)

  • Sibling rivalry (sibling abuse or molestation)

  • Other

Did you notice any of the following changes?

Argumentation or heated debates

Poor communication and relationships

Avoidance in communication

Negative or disconnected home environment

Difficulty enjoying holidays and family celebrations

Compromised collaboration around child-care

Other

If so, you and your family might benefit from therapy.

How does family therapy works?

Upon booking an appointment with the therapist best suited to your needs, we meet with you and your family together for an initial 50 minute session. During this appointment, we establish a therapeutic rapport with you and your family, and observe your natural interactions.

A treatment plan is then formulated out of which future sessions are designed, and for each session thereafter, clinical interventions are utilized in service of meeting the established treatment goals. 

Meeting weekly is our recommended frequency for beginning the process. Meeting in-person is our recommended mode for conducting family therapy.

What happens in a family therapy session?

Seated in comfortable sofas on a private office floor, we meet with the family together initially for 2-3 sessions to hear the family’s voice on what areas need changing.

 You have questions, we have answers

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • When the family has reached the therapeutic goals previously established in the initial treatment plan, we will have a discussion with the family about a termination date. Our door remains open in case new challenges arise.
