Family Therapy

Family therapy that doesn't need everyone in one room

Support for parents, teens, siblings, and the other people who make up a family. Each person can log in from their own device, wherever they are in Pennsylvania or Georgia.

What it is

Working on the family, not on one person

When a family is struggling, one person often ends up labeled as the problem: the teenager who won't talk, or the parent who's always angry. Family therapy steps back from that. It looks at how everyone affects everyone else, and helps the family find ways of talking and deciding that work better for all of them.

Sessions can include whoever is part of the issue. That might be parents and a teen, adult siblings caring for an aging parent, or a blended household still finding its rhythm. Not everyone has to attend every session.

By video, family members who live in different homes can join the same session from their own devices, as long as each person is in Pennsylvania or Georgia.

Who it may help

Families often reach out when

We see families with teens ages 12 and up, as well as families made up entirely of adults.

  • A teen has pulled away, or every conversation turns into a fight
  • Parents disagree about rules, discipline, or screen time
  • Divorce, remarriage, or a new blended household
  • A family member's substance use is affecting everyone
  • Grief after a death in the family
  • Adult siblings are sharing care for an aging parent

What to expect

How family sessions work by video

The first few sessions are about understanding how your family works now, before trying to change anything.

  1. Decide who joins

    Your clinician helps you choose who should be part of the first sessions. Family members can share one screen or each log in from their own device.

  2. Hear every perspective

    Early sessions give each person room to describe what's happening in their own words, including the youngest person there.

  3. Name the patterns

    Together you pin down the moments that keep going wrong, like the homework standoff or the holiday argument, and what each person tends to do in them.

  4. Try something different

    You practice new ways to talk and make decisions during sessions, then try them at home and report back on what happened.

Our approach

How we approach family therapy

We work to make sure no one leaves a session feeling ganged up on. That means a fair share of airtime, clear ground rules, and sometimes separate time with a teen or a parent when a topic needs privacy first.

When a teen is part of the work, we explain at the start what stays between them and their clinician and what gets shared with parents, especially where safety is involved. Clear rules make it easier for everyone to be honest.

Where it's offered

Available in Pennsylvania and Georgia

Family therapy is available by video when every participant is in Pennsylvania or Georgia during the session.

Each state page lists the insurance we accept there and answers questions specific to that state.

Ask us a question

No. Some sessions include everyone, and others focus on one part of the family, like parents alone or a parent and teen together. Your clinician will suggest who should join based on what you're working on.
