Better Communication. Stronger Bonds. Less Conflict.
No matter the structure or size of your family, maintaining a balanced & healthy dynamic can be incredibly challenging. Sometimes, ongoing / unresolved conflict or communication issues can impact family members and create big feelings. Or a family might be reeling from a specific loss, change, trauma or other factor that shifts everyone & everything. Family psychotherapy can be an effective treatment in both situations.
Family psychotherapy is a process where (ideally) all of the members of a primary family meet together with a trained mental health professional in a series of safe, affirming, and confidential group sessions. The goals of family therapy are to create the tools, boundaries & rules that can enable effective communication, reduce conflict, and help each family member develop individually and feel connected to the family unit. Family therapy is sometimes the primary treatment; it can also be complementary to individual or relationship psychotherapy for one or more family members.
Family therapy can help members with feelings of / reactions to grief, anger, sadness, depression, anxiety, conflict or disconnection. It can also help members work together to navigate issues within the family, such as:
- Separation or divorce
- Blended families / raising step or adopted children
- Sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression
- Ineffective communication
- PTSD & Trauma
- Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
- Mental health or behavioral issues
- Substance abuse
- Developmental delays or physical disabilities
- Improve communication and relationships between parents and children

IntraSpectrum Counseling unequivocally denounces the recent surge in anti-transgender rhetoric and the scapegoating of transgender people in the aftermath of recent shootings. Such rhetoric is baseless and deeply harmful, fostering stigma, discrimination, and potential violence against an already marginalized community. We stand firmly with transgender and nonbinary individuals, and reaffirm our commitment to providing affirming, compassionate, and inclusive care. We urge community leaders, media outlets, and the public to reject misinformation and prejudice, and to work collectively toward equity, dignity, and justice for all people.
