Family Therapy at Integrative Couples Therapy

Families are our foundation. They shape our experiences, provide love and support, and help us navigate life’s challenges. But even in the strongest families, stress, conflict, and miscommunication can arise. When tensions build, family members can feel disconnected, unheard, or overwhelmed. Family therapy offers a space to heal and reconnect, helping each person feel valued and understood.

At Integrative Couples Therapy, we offer Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), an approach rooted in attachment science that helps families shift negative patterns, improve communication, and build emotional security. We work with families facing a range of challenges, from everyday struggles to major life transitions. Whether you're seeking to improve relationships, support a loved one’s mental health, or navigate family stressors, we are here to help.

We see families with children ages 12 and older through adulthood, offering therapy that meets the unique needs of each stage of life.

Common Focus Areas in Family Therapy:

• Mental Health Support – When one family member is struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, the whole family feels the impact. We help families develop tools to support each other while maintaining healthy boundaries.

• Divorce – Divorce changes family dynamics in significant ways, especially when children are involved. Therapy helps families navigate transitions, reduce conflict, and establish coparenting strategies that prioritize emotional well-being.

• Life Transitions – Whether adjusting to a blended family, sending a child off to college, or caring for aging parents, change can be challenging. Therapy provides a space to process emotions, strengthen family bonds, and find new ways to support one another.

• Family Businesses – Working with family members brings a unique set of rewards and challenges. We help families in business together improve communication, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts so both relationships and the business can thrive.

• Adolescent Behavior Challenges – The teenage years can be a time of heightened emotions, shifting relationships, and new independence. We help families understand and navigate behavioral challenges, improving communication between parents and teens.

• Parent-Child Conflict – Differences in expectations, communication styles, and emotional needs can create tension between parents and children of all ages. Therapy helps families break negative cycles, reduce power struggles, and create stronger, more connected relationships.

Our therapists create a safe, non-judgmental environment where each family member’s experience is acknowledged and respected. Using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, we guide families toward deeper understanding, emotional responsiveness, and more secure connections.

If your family is feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, we are here to support you. Change is possible. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a healthier, more connected family dynamic.
