Family Therapy

Bringing family into treatment, with your consent, to support change.

Family therapy brings partners or family members into treatment, with your consent, to support change rather than work around the relationships involved.

About Family Therapy

When relationships are part of the picture — and they usually are — we bring family in with your consent. The goal is to help the people around you understand what recovery requires and to change the patterns that may be maintaining the problem.

Family work is especially important in bipolar disorder, where psychoeducation and family-focused therapy measurably reduce relapse risk, and in trauma and substance use, where relational patterns are often central to both the difficulty and the recovery.
