Family Therapy
Support for Families Working Through Challenges Together
Every family experiences difficult seasons. Conflict, parenting stress, behavioral concerns, major life changes, and other challenges can affect everyone in the household. Family therapy provides a supportive space where family members can better understand one another, improve communication, and work toward healthier relationships.
At And Then There Is You (ATTIY), our clinicians work with families to identify patterns that may be creating stress and develop practical ways to move forward together. Whether you're dealing with ongoing conflict, conerns about your child or teen, or a significant transition, therapy can help your family feel more supported, connected, and understood.
Does This Sound Like Your Family?
You might be considering family therapy if:
- Communication at home often feels tense, difficult, or disconnected
- Arguments or disagreements keep escalating
- Your child or teen is experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges
- Parenting feels overwhelming or exhausting
- Your family is adjusting to divorce, remarriage, or another major transition
- Your family is experiencing grief, stress, or another difficult life event
- Everyone feels frustrated and you're unsure how to move forward
You don't have to wait for family challenges to become overwhelming before seeking support. Family therapy can provide a place to slow down, listen to one another, and begin working through concerns together.
Family therapy can help you work through challenges, improve communication, and reconnect. We’re here to support your family every step of the way.
How Family Therapy Can Help
Family therapy focuses on the relationships and interactions within your family. Rather than focusing on just one person, family therapy can help family members understand different perspectives, communicate more effectively, and develop healthier ways of responding to challenges.
Our clinicians support families navigating concerns such as:
- Parent-child conflict
- Teen behavioral or emotional concerns
- Divorce and blended family transitions
- Anxiety, depression, or stress affecting the family
- Grief and loss
- School-related or social difficulties
- Trauma and family stressors
- Communication and relationship challenges
- Parenting concerns and family dynamics
- Other challenges affecting family relationships

What to Expect from Family Therapy
Family therapy is designed to give everyone an opportunity to be heard while creating practical strategies for working through challenges. Your therapist will consider your family's unique relationships, concerns, and goals when developing your treatment approach.
1. New Client Consultation
We begin by learning more about your family, what's bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to accomplish.
2. Personalized Approach
Your therapist develops an approach based on your family's needs, relationships, concerns, and goals. There is no single path that works for every family.
3. Ongoing Therapy Sessions
Sessions may focus on communication, problem-solving, emotional understanding, parenting strategies, conflict resolution, and developing healthier interaction patterns.
4. Continued Growth & Healing
As your family makes progress, therapy can adapt to address new challenges, reinforce positive changes, and support continued connection and stability.
Frequently Asked Questions About Family Therapy
Who attends family therapy sessions?
That depends on your family’s needs. Sessions may include parents, children, siblings, caregivers, or a combination of family members.
Will the therapist take sides?
Family therapy is designed to support the family system as a whole—not place blame on one individual.

Sometimes. Depending on the concerns being addressed, individual therapy may be recommended alongside family therapy to provide additional support for one or more family members. Any recommendations are discussed collaboratively and based on your family’s goals and needs.
How long does family therapy take?
Every family is different. Some families benefit from short-term support, while others continue longer depending on goals and progress.
What age groups do you work with?
We work with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting families across different stages of life.

Yes. Therapy often helps families better understand behaviors, improve communication, and create healthier patterns at home.
Do you offer virtual family therapy?
Yes. Telehealth family therapy options are available depending on clinical appropriateness and family needs.
What if a family member doesn’t want to participate?
That’s common. Therapy can still be helpful, and we can guide families on how to approach participation and support change over time.
