Family therapy treats the relationship as the client. Instead of focusing on one person, it looks at how everyone affects each other, and helps the whole system heal.
Family sessions can stand on their own or be part of a larger plan that includes individual therapy, group therapy, or our Substance Use IOP.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Who should come to family therapy?
Anyone who plays a significant role in the situation: partners, parents, children, siblings, or other loved ones. Your clinician will help decide who should attend each session.
Do you see couples?
Yes. We offer couples counseling for communication, conflict, trust, transitions, and reconnecting.
What if someone doesn’t want to come?
That’s common. Therapy can still help the people who do attend, and your clinician can suggest ways to invite others in over time.
Do you work with teens?
Yes. Some of our clinicians specialize in teens, young adults, and family conflict, and work with families of clients ages 12 and up.
How many sessions will we need?
It varies. Some families need a handful of sessions; others continue longer. You’ll review progress together along the way.
Can I do this by telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth anywhere in Wisconsin, and in-person care at our Appleton center. Your clinician will help you decide which fits you best.
In crisis right now?
Please don’t wait for an appointment. Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if there is immediate danger. Both are available 24/7.
