What Is Family Therapy?
At its core, family therapy helps families:
- Recognize and shift unhelpful interaction patterns
- Improve communication and listening skills
- Navigate conflict, major transitions, and life‑stressors
- Support one another through mental health or behavioral issues
It’s not about assigning blame — rather, it’s about creating a healthier, more connected family system where each member feels heard, respected, and valued.
Ongoing conflicts, poor communication, or tension between members
Who Can Benefit From Family Therapy?
A loved one facing mental health, trauma, or substance‑use concerns
Parenting or adolescent challenges (behavioral issues, mood problems, school struggles)
A desire to build stronger family bonds, healthier boundaries, and improved emotional resilience
Blended families, co‑parenting issues, or stepfamily transitions
Major life changes such as divorce, relocation, loss, or chronic illness

Regardless of your family structure or the issue at hand, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and goals.
Core Components of Our Family Therapy Program
We teach effective ways to express feelings and needs, while also helping family members truly listen and understand one another.
Conflict Resolution & Healthy Boundaries
We help families identify recurring patterns of conflict, learn new problem‑solving strategies, and set boundaries that promote respect and connection.
System‑Focused Approach
Rather than treating one person in isolation, we view the family system as a whole — understanding how each member’s behavior and emotions affect the group and how the group affects each member.
Life Transition & Crisis Support
We support families in times of change — whether it’s parenting adolescents, blending families, dealing with illness or grief, or adapting to new phases of life.
Goal‑Setting & Skill Building
We collaborate with you to set realistic goals (improved communication, fewer arguments, better connection) and build concrete skills that you can use outside of sessions.

Tailored to Your Family’s Needs
Flexible Location + Format
We offer Family Therapy in NYC and Florida, including both in‑person and telehealth sessions to suit your schedule and lifestyle.
Focus on Lasting Change
We don’t just manage symptoms — we work toward building healthier patterns, deeper relationships, and a more cohesive family unit.
- Conduct an assessment of current family dynamics, communication style, and presenting issues
- Invite each family member (as appropriate) to share their experience and perspective
- Collaboratively set short‑term and long‑term therapy goals
- Introduce initial strategies and tools for better interaction and connection
- Outline the expected structure of sessions (frequency, participants, homework/practice, etc.)
Most families begin to notice subtle improvements in connection and communication within the first few sessions — and with consistent effort, create meaningful change over time.
In your initial meeting, we will:
What to Expect in Your First Session
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, family structure, and complexity of issues. Some families find 6‑10 sessions sufficient for specific issues; others benefit from longer engagement for deeper change.
How many sessions will we need?
Not necessarily. While participation of key members enhances progress, best practice sometimes includes a mix of full‑family sessions and smaller subgroup or individual meetings.
Does every family member need to attend every session?
Yes — virtual sessions can be highly effective. We offer telehealth across NYC & Florida so distance or schedule doesn’t block your access to high‑quality care.
Is telehealth effective for family therapy?
If you’re ready to enhance your family’s connection, reduce conflict, and build healthier communication and resilience, we’re here to help.
