Family Therapy

At Brave, our clinicians can help your family heal and grow. Our family relationships can be deeply meaningful and rewarding. Relationships enrich our lives in profound ways. These relationships can also be sources of stress. Families often seek the support of therapist for many reasons.

Most attend counseling to resolve ongoing tension, conflict or disrupt dysfunctional behaviors or patterns. Although one family member may have started the conflict or patterns, it's continued to be supported by the whole family whether the family is aware or not.

• Frequent conflict and frustration in the home
• Parenting stress and difficultly figuring out how to deal with difficult children
• Managing transitional stages in family such as children leaving home, changing employment/schedules, moves, etc.
• History of Substance Use, Addiction, or  Chronic Relapse in the Family 
  • Related to a loss, separation, divorce, remarriage, relocation, financial or employment stress.  
• Aging parents or ill family members 
  • Particularly those who have family members suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia.
