ABOUT

A group of people standing outdoors on grass, silhouetted against a bright setting sun, with some embracing each other.

Family therapy provides a supportive space for families to strengthen relationships and navigate challenges together. Families are complex systems — when one member is struggling with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, or emotional regulation difficulties, it can impact the entire household.

Through structured, evidence-based telehealth sessions in Connecticut and South Carolina, we work to understand family dynamics and build healthier patterns of communication, connection, and support.

Family therapy may focus on:

• Improving parent-teen communication
• Supporting executive functioning and ADHD-related challenges at home
• Reducing conflict and emotional reactivity
• Strengthening boundaries and roles within the family
• Aligning goals and expectations

Family therapy is not about assigning blame — it’s about fostering understanding, improving relationships, and helping families move forward with clarity and cohesion.

Family Therapy Approaches

  • Systems-Based Therapy

    This approach views the family as an interconnected system. Changes in one relationship affect the whole family. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, roles, and communication styles, and supports families in creating healthier ways of relating to one another.

  • Skills-Based Family Therapy

    This approach emphasizes practical tools families can use outside of sessions. Skills may include emotional regulation, problem-solving, boundary-setting, and navigating stress or transitions together.

  • Strengths-Based Family Therapy

    Rather than focusing only on challenges, therapy highlights family strengths, resilience, and shared values. Building on what already works helps families feel empowered and more connected.

  • Parent Support & Guidance

    Family therapy often includes guidance for parents, offering tools to support children and teens while maintaining healthy boundaries and roles. This helps parents feel more confident and aligned in their approach.

WHAT FAMILY THERAPY LOOKS LIKE

A bookshelf with colorful books on the left and a framed quote that says 'Inner Peace' on the wall. Sunlight coming through a window on the right.

Family therapy sessions are collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your family’s unique needs. Whether your family is navigating ADHD, anxiety, OCD, emotional regulation challenges, or executive functioning difficulties, therapy focuses on strengthening communication and connection across the entire system.

Through structured, evidence-based telehealth, we may meet as a full family or in smaller groupings depending on goals and dynamics.

Sessions may focus on:

• Understanding recurring family patterns
• Improving communication and emotional expression
• Strengthening conflict-resolution and problem-solving skills
• Supporting emotional regulation for children, teens, and adults
• Clarifying roles, boundaries, and expectations
• Creating healthier routines and structures — especially for ADHD-related challenges

Family therapy offers a space where each member’s voice is heard, valued, and respected.

Families don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many seek therapy proactively to improve communication, deepen connection, and build stronger, more supportive relationships.

SUPPORTING ADOLESCENTS THROUGH FAMILY THERAPY

SUPPORTING ADOLESCENTS THROUGH FAMILY THERAPY •

When children or adolescents are involved, therapy is developmentally appropriate and paced to support emotional safety.

Parents and caregivers play an essential role in family therapy. Sessions may include guidance, coaching, and education to help caregivers feel confident and aligned. Therapy supports parents in understanding their child’s emotional needs, responding effectively to challenging behaviors, navigating stress and burnout, and strengthening consistency and leadership within the family.

This collaborative approach helps ensure that progress made in therapy carries into daily family life.
