Family Therapy
Family therapy can be a real lifeline during tough times. Let’s schedule your first appointment so we can start helping your family navigate through this together.
Families are complex – they can be a source of deep joy and connection, but also of conflicts and challenges. Our family therapy sessions usually range from about 3 to 20 meetings, depending on your family’s needs. And if necessary, you can even apply for KELA support for up to three years of therapy.
Whether you come with your whole crew, a few members, or even by yourself, just a few sessions can really clarify things and set you on a path to understanding and healing.

When to consider family therapy?
Many people think that family therapy is only for when the family is in crisis. However, it can be beneficial to seek family therapy preventatively, especially when facing life changes or challenging times, in hopes of finding balance in everyday life before the situation escalates into a crisis. You can schedule an appointment for family therapy without a referral.
