This depends on the specific concerns and goals. Sometimes it's beneficial to include everyone living in the household, while in other situations, therapy might focus on specific relationships (such as parent-child or siblings). During your initial consultation, we'll discuss who should participate to best address your family's needs.

It's common for some family members to be hesitant about therapy. We welcome you to call and discuss your situation with our intake coordinator, who can provide information to share with reluctant family members. While family therapy is most effective when all relevant members participate, we can still make progress even if not everyone is initially willing to attend.

For families with younger children, we use age-appropriate techniques including play therapy, art activities, and games that allow children to express themselves comfortably. Our therapists are skilled at creating a space where family members of all ages can participate meaningfully.

The duration varies based on your specific situation and goals. Some families benefit from short-term therapy focused on specific issues (8-12 sessions), while others prefer longer-term work for deeper transformation of family patterns. We'll discuss your goals during the initial consultation and regularly review your progress.

No, our approach is non-judgmental and collaborative. Rather than placing blame, we help families understand how each member contributes to and is affected by family dynamics. Our goal is to create a safe space where everyone feels heard, respected, and supported in the healing process.
