Questions About Family Counseling
Find straightforward answers to common concerns about starting therapy with multiple family members.
Who needs to attend the family therapy sessions?
We generally recommend that anyone directly involved in the current conflict attends the initial meetings. As we progress, we may adjust who participates based on what is most beneficial for the group.
What if one family member refuses to participate?
Resistance is very common, especially among teens or hesitant adults. We can start sessions with the willing members to implement positive changes that often ripple out and encourage others to join later.
Can family therapy help with adult children and their parents?
Yes. We frequently work with adult families to heal old wounds, establish healthy adult boundaries, and transition into a more mature, peer-like relationship.
