Family Therapy in Newport Beach, CA
Rebuilding trust and understanding: Transforming family dynamics through therapy
You argue constantly with your teen and wonder how you got to this place. You remember a time when you had fun together and you weren’t so “hated.” Worrying about your relationship with them keeps you up at night and is starting to affect you emotionally. You hope to one day have a fulfilling relationship again that isn’t filled with tension.
Our goal for our clients is to help you work through the things holding you back from being the family you want to be (and maybe making sure that idea is realistic)! We’ll meet for your initial intake session to get a sense of what your needs are and where we can help. You may feel vulnerable initially, but our pace, what you disclose, and how we approach solutions and coping is up to you. I will challenge you (though, I promise, not with any math problems) and help you find the tools you need to be a happier you.
Who can benefit from family therapy?
Family therapy with Sophie or Alissa is unique to your family dynamic. Typically, we allow any and all members of the family who are interested to join family sessions. We believe each family member can benefit from an environment of mutual understanding and respect for one another. We take the time to support each family member in being understood while also acting as an advocate for our individual clients during the session. Together, we will learn how members of your family can better understand each other and improve your relationships overall.
What can I expect from a family therapy session?
In family therapy, we take time to individually get to know all family members to create an environment of trust. You can expect a 50-minute session where we will focus on getting back to a place of mutual understanding and respect for one another. Like all relationships, we don’t have much if we don’t have trust. We take that seriously and will begin to earn trust in that first session. We will discuss why you’ve come to therapy and what you would like our sessions to look like. We will review how long you’ve been unhappy with your relationships or family dynamic so we can get a better understanding of the work we have to do together.
