Family Counselling in Toronto

Sometimes families come to us just for family counselling –  it’s a great choice, as your teen isn’t separate from your family.  What happens in the family affects your teen and what happens with your teen affects the family,  and family counselling helps

It’s also common for teens to come to us for individual counselling, and with everyone’s permission, we’ll add in some family sessions in the mix just to work through some unresolved experiences.

This is one of our favourite services that we offer here. Why? Because family counselling gives us the best opportunity to shift everyone in your family into feeling better and relating better.

The ripple effect with everyone feeling and relating better is nicer for everyone in your family but it also has long-term positive effects for teens. It’s not uncommon for teens to carry some uncertainty or ambiguity about how much their parents care for them and are in their corner. When they have these beliefs, it also effects how they feel about themselves. Family therapy gives us a chance to help you correct those beliefs so everyone knows how much love and good intention is there. When this is corrected, your teen is really optimally positioned to navigate their teenaged experiences and also optimally positioned to launch well into early adulthood.

If you’re feeling on the outside of your teen’s life, family counselling is a way back in to their world and experiences.
