Family Psychotherapy

In family psychotherapy, multiple family members work together to address challenges, improve communication, and resolve conflicts. It’s a collaborative approach aimed at strengthening relationships and creating a healthier, more supportive home environment.

Our team is exceptionally diverse, bringing a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds to ensure every client receives inclusive and personalized care.

At CHC, we take a collaborative, family-centered approach—bringing together a team of specialists to create personalized therapy plans tailored to each family’s unique needs. Our integrated model draws on a wide range of evidence-based therapies, all designed to support lasting progress and real-life impact.

Our Measurement-Informed Approach

We also use measurement-informed care, tracking progress in real time to guide treatment and involve families every step of the way. This approach allows us to adjust therapy as needed, ensuring faster, more meaningful outcomes for the children, teens, and young adults we serve.
