How we work
Family therapy typically begins with a session where the therapist meets with the entire family or a subset of the family to establish goals and expectations.
Depending on the therapy goals and family dynamics, the course of therapy may include sessions with the whole family or only certain members.

To facilitate meaningful change, we often incorporate play and art materials to make the therapy process both deeper and more engaging.

FAQ
About the family therapy
Should all family members participate in family therapy?
It depends on the issues being addressed. Generally, when all family members participate in therapy, it creates an opportunity for a better understanding of challenges, fosters deeper connections, and engages the strengths and resources of the entire family.
How frequent are family therapy sessions?
The frequency of family therapy sessions depends on the specific circumstances and objectives. Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly, depending on what works best for the family. Often, individual family members may also have their own therapy sessions to address personal issues that require focused attention.
How long is a family therapy session?
Family therapy sessions typically require more time than individual sessions to allow each member to express themselves and for family dynamics to unfold. Depending on the number of participants, sessions may last 75-90 minutes or longer. The duration is always discussed with the therapist in advance.
