What is family & couples therapy?
Family and couples therapy is a safe space for families, partners, or loved ones to talk, listen, and grow together. Sometimes it can be hard to get along or understand each other, and that’s okay. In therapy, a licensed counselor helps you learn how to share your feelings, solve problems, and build stronger relationships.
You can come as a couple, a parent and child, or your whole family. The goal is to help everyone feel heard and to work through the challenges that are getting in the way of peace at home.
How couples therapy helps
Every relationship has ups and downs. Couples therapy gives you and your partner a place to talk openly, learn to listen better, and rebuild trust. Whether you’ve been together for years or are just starting out, therapy can help you understand each other more and strengthen your bond.
Many couples come to therapy to work through things like:
Arguing or poor communication
Trust or jealousy issues
Life stress, work balance, or parenting conflicts
Feeling disconnected or distant
Recovering after hurt or loss
Your therapist will guide both of you to speak honestly, find common ground, and grow closer through understanding and teamwork.
How therapy helps kids and families
Children and teens face their own challenges, from school stress to family changes, and they need a safe place to talk too. Our therapists are trained to help kids express their feelings, handle emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope.
Family sessions can help parents and children:
Improve communication at home
Manage behavior or mood changes
Work through divorce or loss
Build trust and support between parents and kids
Learn to handle stress and big emotions
Therapy helps kids feel understood and gives parents tools to support them better. When families work together, everyone feels stronger and more connected.
What to expect in a session
Your first session is all about getting to know you. Your therapist will ask simple questions about how you’re feeling and what you hope to work on. There’s no pressure, you can share as much or as little as you want.
As you keep meeting, you’ll talk about what’s going on in your life, learn ways to manage tough emotions, and practice healthy coping skills. Every session takes place online, so you can meet your therapist from the comfort of your home, no travel, no waiting rooms, just care that fits your schedule.
Our goal is to make therapy simple, supportive, and effective for you.
