Your Family’s Story Isn’t Over

"A hard season does not have to define your future"

The ones we love the most are often the ones who hurt us more than anyone else: our sons and daughters, our parents, sisters, and uncles. The hurts can go back decades and flare up in a moment. You fight, go silent, ghost, and cut each other off. Wills get rewritten. Holidays become horror stories, and whatever peace you had feels gone. Or you find yourself sitting alone, lonely, and not knowing who to turn to.

Family therapy is somewhere to talk about the things that are far too difficult to talk about at home. You can say how you feel, listen to each other, and begin to figure out how to move forward.

If you’re not sure where to start, tell us about your family and we’ll help you figure out the best way forward.

If you’re not sure where to start, tell us a bit about yourself and we’ll recommend a therapist.

Not Sure Who’s Right for Your Family? Talk to Rachel

Rachel knows every therapist on our team. Tell her a little about your family and what you’re looking for, and she’ll suggest who would be a good fit and book your first session with them. The call is free. You won’t need to go through the whole story with her; that’s what your first session with the therapist is for.

No Pressure. No Commitment.

If you’ve been putting this off, or waiting for things to settle down first, maybe this is it. We’d love to meet you.

Understand the patterns beneath the pressure

Your therapist gives you room to say what’s really going on, without managing anyone’s reaction to it. Over time you start to see the patterns underneath — the self-criticism, the avoiding, the people-pleasing, the same arguments in different relationships.

Then you work on what to do differently. Ways to settle yourself when emotions run high, how to hold a boundary without guilt, what to do with stress before it builds. Things you can use on an ordinary Tuesday, not just in session.

How Family Therapy Works

Understand the Pattern, Then Change It

Therapy is not only about talking. It is also about 
learning.

Underneath the arguments and the silences, everyone in a family wants the same things: to be heard, respected, accepted, and loved — to know they belong. Family therapy gives each of you space to say what’s really going on, without being interrupted or attacked. Over time you start to see the patterns you’re all caught in: who shuts down, who steps in, who gets left out.

Then you work on what to do differently. How to listen without defending yourself, how to set a boundary with respect, how to repair when it goes wrong. Things you can use at the dinner table, not just in session.

Support matched to what you need most

Therapy is a collaborative process. Your therapist works with you to understand what is happening, clarify your goals, and build practical strategies that fit your life.

Common Questions

A Few Things Families Often Ask

Who should come to family therapy?

It depends on what you’re hoping for. Some sessions include everyone involved. Others involve two people, such as a parent and an adult child, or co-parents, or siblings. You don’t need everyone to agree before you start, and your therapist will help you decide who should be there.

What happens in the first session?

The first appointment is with you, the person who contacts us, on your own. It’s a full, paid 50-minute session with the therapist. You’ll talk about what’s been happening in your family, what you’re hoping for, and who should be part of the sessions. From there, the therapist will work out with you how to bring the others in.

Can I talk to the therapist before booking a full session?

With some of our therapists, yes. They offer a free 15-minute consult so you can ask questions and see whether they feel like a good fit. It’s a short conversation, not a therapy session, so the therapist won’t go into your family’s story in detail. If you’d like to go ahead, the next step is a full 50-minute session for you on your own.

What if someone refuses to come?

That’s common. Family therapy can begin with whoever is willing, and a change in one part of a family may shift others. Your therapist can also suggest ways to invite the person who’s reluctant, without pressure.

Will the therapist take sides?

No. The therapist's job is to understand how each of you sees things and to help you hear each other. Each person has space to speak without being interrupted or attacked.

Can family therapy help if we’re estranged?

It can. Some families find a way back to each other, and some work out what contact is healthy for them. Family therapy isn’t about pushing anyone to reconcile. It’s somewhere to figure out what comes next, whether that’s repairing and rebuilding or setting healthy boundaries.

Can family therapy help with separation, divorce, or co-parenting?

Yes. Many families come for support with co-parenting, parenting across two homes, and blended-family changes. We don't provide mediation, assessments, opinions, or reports for court, but we can recommend professionals who do.

What’s the difference between family therapy and child or teen therapy?

In child therapy and teen therapy, the work centres on the young person, with parents and the other important adults in their life involved in supporting it. In family therapy, the work centres on the relationships between you, and everyone in the room takes part. If you’re not sure which fits, Rachel can help you decide.

Can family therapy happen online?

Yes. We offer online family therapy anywhere in Ontario, and in person in Bolton. Family members in different parts of the province can join from wherever they are. Online sessions work best when each person has privacy and a steady connection.

Is family therapy covered by insurance?

Many extended health plans cover psychotherapy, but it depends on your plan and on your therapist’s designation, so check which providers yours includes. We bill most major insurers directly. A 50-minute session is $200 to $225, depending on the therapist.
