Family Therapy

Whether you are a parent, child, sibling, or spouse, navigating the complexity of family relationships is an essential part of everyday life. Family therapy provides help in getting past obstacles while maintaining the strength of your family unit. Rather than receiving therapy individually, multiple family members are invited to participate in treatment together so they can find new ways to love and support each other.  Family therapy can be helpful in learning to set healthy boundaries, establishing new patterns of communication, and building empathy within the family unit. There are many reasons why families seek therapy, some of the most common reasons are:

  • Divorce
  • Grief / Loss
  • Family conflict
  • Trauma
  • Life transitions
  • Adjusting to a new mental health diagnosis

‍

Group Therapy

  • Social Skills Group: For kids who struggle making or keeping friends due to social anxiety or difficulty reading social cues.
  • Emotion Regulation Group: Helps kids understand and respond to big feelings in healthy ways, building a coping toolbox.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Don't just take our word for it, see what the awesome people we work with have to say.

“Having Morrissey Compton do a psychoeducational evaluation of my teenage son was one of the best, most empowering actions I have ever taken for my child. It has been a game-changer! The detailed evaluation and the very positive feedback session provided my son and me with a clear understanding of his learning profile and the language and tools to help him advocate for what he needs as he heads into high school. “

Parent

“My 11 year old son was diagnosed last year with high functioning autism. He has always had trouble navigating social situations and been extremely reluctant and resistant to interventions. The 5th grade social skills group my son just completed was the first intervention that had a positive impact. The consistent, relevant messaging and content was extremely helpful. MC staff were understanding, flexible, and able to help my son learn, and even thrive in the group.“
