Family Therapy
Family therapy focuses on enhancing communication and strengthening relationships within the family system. Its aim is to help family members develop a deeper understanding of one another, resolve conflicts, and promote the emotional and mental well-being of the adolescent and the family.
At Kincove, we recognize that when one family member is struggling, it affects the entire system. Family therapy offers a space where everyone can be heard, seen, and supported. Whether you're navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, life transitions, or the effects of trauma, family therapy helps uncover the patterns that keep you stuck and fosters new ways of relating to each other with empathy and respect.
Why Family Therapy?
Adolescence and young adulthood are critical developmental windows—times of growth, identity exploration, and emotional change. During this period, family dynamics often shift, and misunderstandings can arise.
Family therapy is a good fit if you’re facing:
Communication ruts & rising tension.
Major transitions such as separation, loss, blending households, relocation.
Behavioral or emotional challenges that overwhelm one or more members.
Unresolved trauma or intergenerational patterns that keep repeating.
A desire to strengthen bonds and restore mutual respect.
What to Expect
We tailor our approach to your family’s unique dynamics, strengths, and goals. Sometimes that means full family sessions. Sometimes it means a few sessions with just parents. We meet you where you are.
Your therapist will guide conversations with curiosity and care, helping your family:
Align on core values and shared goals
Surface the needs beneath behaviors
Learn in-the-moment regulation techniques for tough conversations
Make room for honest dialogue about topics that have felt “off-limits.”
Family therapy isn’t about placing blame. It’s about uncovering how each member contributes to the dynamic—and how you can shift that dynamic together.
Who Is It For?
We welcome all family constellations, including biological, blended, adoptive, chosen, and multigenerational families. Sessions can include parents and teens, siblings navigating rivalry, young adults and their caregivers, grandparents… whoever represents “family” to you.

Let’s work together to build a family system that supports the growth and well-being of every member.

How can family therapy help me?
Family therapy can help families experiencing communication breakdowns, conflict, or crises related to parenting, adolescence, or life transitions.
Led by a therapist who guides the family in identifying issues, improving communication, and developing healthier interactions, sessions involve open discussions where family members share their perspectives and emotions. The therapist helps mediate conflicts, encourages active listening, and fosters empathy within the family.
How long does family therapy last?
Often short-term, lasting several weeks or months, with a focus on resolving specific family dynamics or crises. However, some families may benefit from longer-term engagement for more complex challenges.
