Family Therapy

Your Family. Reconnected.

You want your family to feel close, connected, and supported—but right now, things feel strained. Whether you're facing disconnection, conflict, or change, it’s hard to know how to move forward. At Integrative Couples Therapy, we understand how overwhelming it can be when the people you love the most feel distant or misunderstood. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. We’re here to help.

Our Approach: Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)

We guide families using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), a proven, attachment-based approach that helps families strengthen emotional bonds and create new ways of relating. EFFT helps each person understand what’s happening beneath the surface, so emotions become clearer, conversations become safer, and healing becomes possible. Together, we’ll help you shift painful patterns into connection and understanding.

Focus Areas in Family Therapy

Parents and Teens
You want to support your teen—but communication often breaks down. We help families move from conflict and confusion to connection and trust. With support, your family can navigate emotional ups and downs, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect in a way that feels safe for everyone.

Families with Adult Children
As your family evolves, so do the roles and expectations within it. If tension, distance, or misalignment have taken root, we’ll help you restore mutual respect, rebuild emotional closeness, and create new, healthier ways of relating in this next chapter.

Family Businesses
When your family is also your business, unresolved issues can affect both your relationships and your work. We help family businesses communicate clearly, resolve conflicts, and maintain strong personal bonds while working toward shared professional goals.

Blended Families
Blending families brings complexity—and the potential for deep connection. We help your family build trust, navigate new roles, and establish a sense of unity where each member feels heard, accepted, and part of something meaningful.

Supporting Families Through Divorce
Divorce doesn’t have to damage the heart of your family. We offer guidance to reduce conflict, support children, and strengthen healthy coparenting. With care and intention, we’ll help your family navigate this transition with grace and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We see families with children of all ages. We generally see children that are in early adolescence through adulthood. Generally children ages 12 and older find family therapy beneficial. We do not recommend family therapy for family members that do not want to attend and for those that do not want to engage in the process.

  • Deciding who will attend family therapy is a collaborative decision, based on recommendations/direction from your family therapist, the ages of the children, input from each family member, and your goals for therapy. Together, you will discuss who will attend each session, which may include individual sessions, dyads, or the entire family.

  • In this situation we encourage you to begin individual therapy. Your therapist can help you cultivate new ways of interacting that can create positive shifts within your family dynamics. Keep in mind that there is always the possibility that your other family members will be open to attending family therapy in the future. If we start with you individually, we may refer you to another family therapist if your family members decide to engage in therapy in the future.
