Why Choose FTAJ for Family Therapy?

True Specialized Family Therapy Expertise

Our therapists receive 2x–5x more training than required and specialize in complex family dynamics—like parenting struggles, sibling conflict, grief, blended families, and trauma. We use research-backed methods to help your family communicate better, reconnect, and grow.

Lasting Relief with Personalized Plans

Your first session is 85 to 130 minutes—giving your therapist time to understand your family’s structure, goals, and challenges. From there, we create a custom plan that works for your family dynamic, whether you come as a full group or start with just one or two members.

Support for Life’s Toughest Moments

Whether you’re navigating divorce, loss, a major transition, or long-standing conflict, we meet your family where you are. Our therapists use proven strategies to help families heal emotional wounds, rebuild trust, and create more peace at home.

Flexible & Private Care Designed for Your Family

Choose in-person or telehealth sessions—with a therapist carefully matched to your needs. Evening hours, quick scheduling, and a spa-like setting make it easy to get started. Plus, no insurance billing means your care stays completely confidential.

Family Therapy Questions

That’s not just common—it’s expected.

In many families, one person recognizes the need for support before the others are ready. And that’s okay. You don’t need everyone on board to begin making real progress.

We can start with whoever is open to showing up, and build from there. Sometimes it’s just one parent. Other times it’s a sibling pair, a caregiver and child, or even a single member who wants to improve how they interact with the rest of the family. Over time, others often choose to join in once they see the changes and feel more comfortable.

Our therapists are trained in systems thinking, which means they understand how changing even one relationship or communication pattern can have a ripple effect across the whole family.

Starting small is still starting strong.

You don’t need a perfect plan or everyone in agreement to begin. If someone in your family is ready to take the first step, we’re ready to meet them there.

Full-family sessions are typically the foundation of our work together. Meeting as a group helps surface shared dynamics, improve communication, and create real-time opportunities for growth.

That said, your therapist may recommend occasional sessions with smaller parts of the family—such as parents only, individuals, or specific pairings—when it supports the bigger picture.

We always tailor the format based on your family’s size, goals, and needs. If it becomes clear that a couple or individual would benefit from more focused work outside the family sessions, we may recommend adding individual or couples therapy in parallel to maximize progress.

Bottom line: You don’t have to know what structure is best—we’ll guide you every step of the way.

You’re not alone—and you don’t need to “fix things” before coming in.

In fact, that’s exactly why family therapy exists. Many families seek help when things feel tense, broken, or painful. Whether there’s been a recent blowup, years of unspoken hurt, or unresolved trauma, we’re here to help you work through it safely.

Our therapists are specifically trained in:

  • De-escalating high-conflict conversations
  • Creating emotionally safe environments for all voices to be heard
  • Working with families who’ve experienced trauma, loss, or estrangement

We don’t rush the process or expect resolution overnight. Instead, we focus on building trust, restoring communication, and helping each family member feel respected—even when there’s disagreement or distance.

You don’t need to have all the answers before scheduling.
You just need a willingness to try something different—with expert support.

Every kind.

We know families come in all shapes, sizes, and structures—and we welcome them all.

That includes:

  • Blended families navigating step-parent or step-sibling roles
  • Adult siblings working through old wounds or caregiving stress
  • Single parents and co-parenting teams
  • Multigenerational households with layered dynamics
  • Families with adoption, estrangement, or nontraditional roles
  • Chosen families—close-knit relationships that feel like family, even if not related by blood

There is no one “right” way to be a family here.
What matters is that you want to improve the way your family connects, communicates, or heals.

Our therapists are trained to meet you where you are, with care that’s sensitive, inclusive, and free from judgment.

If your family matters to you, it matters to us—no matter what it looks like on paper.

That’s completely okay—and honestly, it’s more common than not.

Most families come to us feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or worried they’ll say the “wrong” thing. You don’t need a script. You don’t need the right words. You just need to show up—and we’ll help guide the rest.

Our therapists are experts at working with clients who feel stuck, guarded, or unsure. In your first 85-130 minute session, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in, get comfortable, and begin unpacking what’s going on—without pressure or rush.

We’ll ask the right questions.
We’ll clarify goals together.
We’ll create a safe space where honesty and uncertainty are both welcome.

You’re not expected to figure it out before walking in.
That’s what we’re here for.

Take the first step. We’ll help you with the next.
