Healing Together as a Family
Strengthen family bonds, improve communication, and work through challenges together in a supportive environment.
Understanding Family Therapy
Family therapy provides a supportive space for families to come together, understand one another more deeply, and strengthen relationships. Families are shaped by shared histories, cultural values, and generational patterns that influence how members communicate, cope with stress, and express emotions.
Many families seek therapy during periods of transition or conflict—when communication breaks down, emotions feel heightened, or unresolved issues begin to impact daily life. Cultural expectations, intergenerational roles, and unspoken family narratives can add additional layers of complexity. Family therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and create new ways of relating that feel more supportive and connected.
Family therapy is available in San Diego and via secure telehealth for families across California.
Grounded in Understanding & Connection
Attachment-Based
Exploring how family bonds and early attachment patterns shape how members relate, communicate, and support one another.
Psychodynamic
Understanding how intergenerational trauma, cultural values, and past experiences shape family dynamics over time.
Trauma-Informed
Creating safety and honoring each family member's experience while supporting the family system as a whole.
Family therapy is not about placing blame or singling out one person as the problem. Instead, it focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening emotional bonds, and fostering empathy within the family system.
