Family Therapy in the North Shore.

Helping families reconnect, repair, and grow together.

Why Choose Family Therapy?

Families seek therapy for a wide range of reasons, including:

  • Frequent arguments or tension at home

  • Difficult transitions (such as divorce, blending families, or relocation)

  • Parenting conflicts or differing expectations

  • Struggles with a child or teen’s behavior or emotional health

  • Grief or loss

  • Mental health or substance use concerns affecting one or more family members

  • Feeling stuck in unhealthy dynamics

Family therapy can help everyone feel heard, valued, and supported while addressing what’s not working—and building new patterns that do.

What to Expect

Our family therapist takes a collaborative, strengths-based approach, meeting your family where you’re at. Depending on your needs, sessions might involve the whole family, certain members at a time, or a combination of both.

We understand that families can be a source of great strength and joy—but also of deep stress and conflict. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or feeling disconnected from the people you love most, family therapy offers a space to improve communication, build understanding, and move forward together.

Is Family Therapy Right for Us?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeated arguments, or unsure how to support your child or teen—family therapy can help. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Many families come to therapy simply wanting to feel more connected and supported in their day-to-day lives.

Our therapists are experienced in working with a wide range of family structures, ages, and concerns. We’ll work with you to build a plan that feels helpful, respectful, and meaningful.
