Therapists who know families
Boundaries that hold, freedom that lasts
Families recover together.
When someone you love is struggling, you feel it too, even when no one asks how you're doing. We work with families to rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and find a healthier way of supporting one another.
For parents, partners, siblings, and children
You deserve room to breathe.
When loving someone isn’t enough to make things better, we help you care for yourself while they’re struggling. If your own needs and emotions have been pushed aside, this support is for you too.
A place to begin
If they won’t come, come without them.
You do not need the struggling person's participation to start. Family work with the people who are willing is not a consolation prize. A family that has changed how it responds is a healthier environment for everyone.
Why families come to therapy
Concerns families carry.
We know what loved ones go through when one person is in crisis.
Codependency
When caring for someone becomes losing yourself in the process, we help you support the people you love without disappearing in the effort.
Boundaries
Know where you end and someone else begins. Especially when love makes that hard, we help you build boundaries that hold.
Parenting
Parenting a child through mental health or substance use challenges brings its own weight. We help you respond with clarity instead of fear.
Communication
When conversations turn into arguments, or go quiet altogether, we help families talk to each other again, not just about the crisis, but beyond it.
Therapy is for everyone
Who can come.
Family therapy can be complicated. We try to make it simple. In family sessions, the family is the client. Anyone affected can attend.
Parents
Support your child without losing yourself.
Children
Feel heard, secure, and supported at home.
Partners
Stay connected while navigating hard times together.
Siblings
Make space for how their struggle affects you.

Is this our fault?
No. Families don't cause addiction or mental illness. What families do have is influence over what happens next, which is a different thing and a more useful one. We work on what's changeable, and blame isn't on that list.
Am I enabling them?
Maybe in some ways, and almost certainly not in all the ways you're afraid of. "Enabling" gets used as a blunt instrument, usually against parents who are trying to keep someone alive. The honest question isn't whether you're helping too much, it's which specific supports are protecting them from consequences that would otherwise prompt change. That's a case-by-case conversation, not a rule.
What if we can't agree as parents?
Very common, and often the more urgent problem. When one parent holds the line and the other doesn't, the inconsistency itself becomes the issue. Sessions with just the two of you are often where family work starts.
What about the siblings?
They're usually carrying more than anyone realizes, sometimes by becoming invisible, sometimes by becoming the easy one. We'll ask about them and, where it fits, bring them in.
What happens if there's a relapse?
It's common, and it's not the end of the work. Part of what we do is build a family plan for it in advance, so a relapse doesn't reset everything to crisis. Families who've decided beforehand what they'll do respond very differently than families deciding in the moment.
Do we all have to come every time?
No. The configuration changes as the work does.
Should we stop paying their rent / let them move out / cut them off?
We won't answer that from a website, and be wary of anyone who does. These decisions depend on what the person is using, what happens if they're unhoused, whether there are children involved, and what you can actually sustain. We'll help you think it through and hold whatever you decide.
