Couples and Family Therapy
Couples Counseling
All couples face challenges from time to time. What is more important than experiencing challenges, is how you handle them. Couples choose to come to therapy for many different reasons but ultimately, it's about connecting and strengthening the relationship.
Why participate in couples counseling?
Couples might seek counseling as a preventative measure, after a recent event such as an affair or job loss, or because they have found themselves drifting apart over time.

Family Counseling
Family therapy provides an opportunity to address specific issues within the family system including things like major life transitions or mental health issues. It is often used in addition to individual or couples counseling. The goal of family counseling is usually to promote collaboration and understanding among individual family members.
For example, a child who may be struggling with depression and needs additional support from family may not know how to communicate their feelings to parents and siblings. A trained family therapist can help facilitate the conversation so that the child feels understood and the family learns what to pay attention to or how to respond.
