This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
They are the people who know exactly how to push your buttons. Arguments with them may hurt the most. You can’t choose them, but you wouldn’t want to live without them: family.

Can Therapy Help My Family? How Do We Get Started?
Deciding to pursue family counseling is often a difficult decision for family members. If you want to start therapy sessions and are having a hard time convincing your relatives that this is a good idea, try explaining to them what it means to you to try. Also, explain to them the many different ways that therapy can help.
Our family counselors can help you work through things such as:
- Behavioral problems in children
- Sibling rivalry
- Communication issues
- Grief and loss
- Trauma and PTSD
- Substance abuse
- Blended family challenges
- Abandonment
- Parenting issues
- Mental illness such as anxiety and depression
- Financial strain and stress
- Major life changes
- Coping with a diagnosis
- And more
There is help for everyone involved. To get started, the first thing you need to do is just reach out. We want your family system to improve because you and your loved ones deserve to be happy and healthy.
After receiving help, our goal is to equip you with the tools necessary to:
- Improve communication: Better communication is essential to tearing down the walls and getting to the root of an issue before it gets out of hand
- Actively listen: It can be hard sometimes to sit down and really hear what the other person is saying. Putting aside biases and showing support by actively listening can be a great way to mend relationships
- Compromise effectively: Relationships require compromise – it allows us to come to a mutual agreement that will ensure both sides are happy with the decision or conversation in focus
