What Is Family Therapy?
Family therapy focuses on improving communication and understanding, healing ruptures, resolving conflicts, and strengthening how the family functions as a whole. Rather than placing blame on one person, family counseling looks at the patterns and dynamics that affect everyone. Sessions create a safe, welcoming environment where family members can openly express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns with a professional trained to help you create lasting positive change.
Family therapy may include parents and children, siblings, couples and their teens, blended families, adult children and aging parents, or any combination of family members who want to grow closer.

Our Approach to Family Therapy
At Sage Wellness, we take a holistic approach to family counseling. Our therapists work collaboratively with your family to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. We use evidence-based techniques that build communication skills, conflict resolution, and problem solving to promote growth and healing within your family system. Each family member has the opportunity to be heard, and together you will practice new ways of relating that carry over into daily life at home.
Family sessions are typically 45 minutes and can be extended to 60 or 90 minutes. Depending on your goals, your therapist may recommend combining family sessions with kids and teens counseling, individual therapy, or couples therapy for parents.
