What Is This Service?
Family therapy is a form of treatment where a licensed therapist works with multiple family members to address concerns that affect the family system. Unlike individual therapy, which focuses on one person, family therapy recognizes that individual challenges often involve the entire family and that healing happens within the context of relationships.
Family therapy can address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, parent-child conflicts, behavioral concerns, blended family challenges, substance use impacts on the family, mental health conditions affecting family dynamics, grief and loss, and major life transitions. The approach is tailored to the specific needs of each family.\
Counseling Plus Inc. provides family therapy with licensed therapists who specialize in family systems therapy. Our approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and focused on helping families build healthier, more supportive relationships. Available in English and Spanish, virtually or in person.
Who Needs This Service?
Family therapy may be right for your family if you're experiencing communication difficulties, conflicts between family members, behavioral concerns with children or adolescents, or other challenges that affect the family system. Family therapy provides a space for all voices to be heard and for the family to work together toward solutions.
You may benefit from family therapy if a family member is struggling with substance use, mental health concerns, or behavioral issues and the whole family is affected. Family therapy can help the family understand how to support their loved one while also addressing the impact on the family system.
Some families are referred to therapy by a court, DSS, school, or healthcare provider. Others seek therapy proactively because they want to improve family dynamics. Whether you're referred or self-referred, our therapists provide the same compassionate, professional care to every family.

How the Process Works
Family therapy begins with an initial session where the therapist meets with the family to understand the family structure, history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This first session helps the therapist develop a personalized approach.
Subsequent sessions focus on the specific concerns and goals of the family. The therapist may use evidence-based approaches such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or strategic family therapy. Sessions provide a safe space for family members to communicate, understand each other's perspectives, and work toward positive change.
The frequency and duration of therapy depend on the family's needs. Some families attend for a few months, while others continue for longer. Sessions are typically 50 to 75 minutes and can be conducted in person or virtually.
How Long Does It Take?
Family therapy sessions are typically 50 to 75 minutes long. The frequency and total number of sessions depend on the family's specific needs and goals.
Some families attend therapy for a few months to address a specific concern, while others continue for longer to work on deeper patterns and ongoing growth. Your therapist will work with you to determine the right approach.
We offer evening and virtual sessions to accommodate family members' schedules. Spanish-language therapy is available for families who prefer to conduct sessions in Spanish.
Who Accepts It?
Our family therapy is provided by licensed therapists and meets clinical standards for family therapy. If therapy is related to a court referral, DSS requirement, or school recommendation, we can provide documentation for the referring party at no additional administrative cost.
Family therapy is also available to families who are self-referred and not involved with the legal system. Our services are confidential and available to any family seeking support.
If you need documentation for a specific purpose — such as a court requirement, DSS referral, or school documentation — let us know what format the requesting party needs.
What Happens After Your Appointment?
After each therapy session, family members may discuss the insights gained and practice skills discussed during the session. The therapist may suggest exercises or strategies to try between sessions.
Many families find that therapy provides tools and skills that continue to benefit their family dynamics long after therapy ends. The therapist will help the family develop strategies for maintaining positive changes.
When the family and therapist agree that goals have been achieved, you may reduce frequency or conclude therapy with a plan for maintaining progress. The therapist remains available for follow-up sessions if needed.
