Family Therapy: Strengthening Connections, One Conversation at a Time
Every family faces challenges—but you don't have to navigate them alone. At WellHome Psychology, we offer Family Therapy to help families communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and build stronger, more connected relationships. Whether you're working through a specific issue or hoping to strengthen family bonds, our goal is to help your family grow and heal—together.
What Is Family Therapy?
DFamily Therapy is a collaborative process that brings members of a family together to address challenges, improve communication, and build healthier relationships. It's not about blaming any one person—it's about creating a safe space where each voice is heard, understood, and respected.We work with families of all shapes and sizes—traditional, blended, foster, and chosen families. Sessions can include children, parents, siblings, grandparents, or anyone important to the family system.
What Can Family Therapy Help With?
Family Therapy is helpful for a wide range of challenges, including:
• Parent-child conflict
• Communication breakdowns
• Divorce, separation, or blended family transitions
• Behavioral concerns in children or teens
• Emotional disconnect or family stress
• Co-parenting struggles
• Trauma, grief, or major life changes
• Mental health concerns affecting the whole family (e.g., anxiety, depression, substance use)
We also support families who simply want to feel more connected and resilient in their daily lives.
Our Approach to Family Therapy
At WellHome Psychology, we tailor each session to your family's unique dynamics and goals. We draw from a wide range of research-based models, including:
• Structured Family Therapy – Clear roles, expectations, and boundaries
• Narrative Therapy – Rewriting the story the family tells about itself
• Solution-Focused Therapy – Building on strengths and identifying what is working
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Deepening connection and emotional safety
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Challenging unhelpful thought and behavior patterns
• Psychoeducation – Learning about development, mental health, and communication
• Positive Discipline & Parenting Solutions – Managing behaviors with respect and structure
• Attachment-Based Work – Rebuilding trust and emotional security
• Structured Problem Solving – Tackling issues step-by-step
• Strengths-Based Therapy – Identifying and using each family member's strengths
• Role Play & Skill-Building – Practicing new ways to interact in real time
Therapy is active, engaging, and practical—focused not just on understanding problems but creating real, sustainable solutions.
What to Expect in Family Therapy
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your family's structure, needs, and goals. From there, sessions may include:
• Open conversations about concerns and emotions
• Skill-building exercises (e.g., listening, conflict resolution)
• Problem-solving strategies
• Coaching for parenting or communication
• Collaborative goal setting
Sessions can be with the whole family or individual members as needed. You'll leave with tools you can use right away—and we'll guide you through applying those tools both in and outside of the therapy room.
How Long Does Family Therapy Take?
The length of treatment depends on your goals and the complexity of the challenges you're facing. Some families benefit from short-term support (6–12 sessions), while others may engage in longer-term therapy to work through deeper or ongoing concerns.
Our goal is to help your family feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
