Family Therapy
Let’s be honest here… families are complicated…
Families are constantly changing. The tools that you’ve relied on may not be working anymore now that your kiddo is older and learning to find their independence.
Family therapy allows your entire family to work together to solve problems. After all, who better to have in session than the whole fam!
What kinds of things can we work on in family therapy?

Unwanted behaviors is the most common reason families seek family therapy. When no one is getting along it seems like a good idea to figure it out together. Often there is something your child is trying to communicate with their behavior. I will partner with you to find out what that might be. This is very difficult to do when you are in the middle of the unwanted behaviors.
Examples can be physical or verbal aggression, excessive skin picking or hair pulling, cutting, poor peer relationships, oppositional behavior, or anything you are unable to manage on your own.

Has your child changed schools recently? Moved into a new house? Are you going though a divorce or separation? Sometimes even positive changes have unforeseen consequences for our families. Family therapy can be a great way to talk about the changes and give you the tools to feel confident going forward.

When siblings are struggling to get along it can impact the whole family. From blended families, to medical appointments, to mental health challenges, we can work to build positive relationships between siblings.
