 Family & Couples Therapy

Growing your family can be both beautiful and difficult, we get it and we’re here to support you.

As you grow your family and navigate parenthood you may be, like many of us, finding that you’re spousal relationship or family dynamic isn’t feeling as balanced or as healthy as you had hoped for. You might be feeling like you and your partner are parenting on different pages, or perhaps from completely different books! Or that the mental and emotional load of parenthood leaves little energy for either of you to focus on one another. Or perhaps communication is rocky or non-existent. If any of these sound familiar, just know you aren’t the only ones and with support we believe you can find more acceptance, tolerance and balance in the midst of the chaos.

Here are a few ways family therapy can help you:

  • Improving Communication: Family therapy can enhance communication skills among family members, helping them express thoughts, feelings, and concerns more effectively.

  • Resolving Conflict: It provides a structured environment to address conflicts within the family constructively, facilitating resolution and fostering healthier relationships.

  • Building Empathy and Understanding: Through therapy sessions, family members gain insight into each other's perspectives and experiences, fostering empathy and understanding.

  • Strengthening Relationships: Family therapy aims to strengthen familial bonds by promoting trust, respect, and mutual support among members.

  • Identifying and Changing Dysfunctional Patterns: Therapists help families recognize and address dysfunctional patterns of behavior or communication, replacing them with healthier alternatives.

  • Supporting Change and Adaptation: It assists families in navigating transitions, such as divorce, remarriage, relocation, or the addition of new family members, by providing support and guidance.

  • Addressing Individual Issues in a Family Context: Family therapy acknowledges that individual problems often affect the entire family system, providing a space to address these issues within the familial context.

  • Promoting Problem-Solving Skills: It teaches families effective problem-solving strategies, empowering them to overcome challenges and crises collaboratively.

  • Enhancing Coping Mechanisms: Family therapy equips families with coping mechanisms to manage stress, trauma, or other difficult situations together.

We are here to hold space for you to find relational health and wellness so that you and your family can enjoy the natural ups and downs with a little more ease. Get in touch with us to learn more about how therapeutic support during this time might be a good fit for you and your family.
