RELATIONAL THERAPY

family therapy for new moms

Certain relationships are worth investing in. Relational therapy is for two or more adults who wish to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and create a relationship that works for this version of you and your life. Learn and practice the Non-Violent Communication Model, Parts Work, Trauma Healing, and Somatic Regulation.

Who Is Relational Therapy For & What Brings People In?

Adult Parent & Child Reconnecting after distance or estrangement. Processing long-held resentment, unspoken grief, or a significant rupture. Navigating a parent's difficulty accepting an adult child's identity, partner, or life path. Adjusting to shifting roles when a child has children of their own.

Adult Siblings Addressing conflict that surfaced around a parent's illness, death, or care decisions. Untangling old rivalry, perceived favoritism, or inherited family roles. Rebuilding a relationship after a falling out or years of distance.

In-Laws & Blended Families Working through in-law tension that's putting strain on a marriage. Repairing or building a relationship between a stepparent and adult stepchild. Finding common ground in a blended family navigating loyalty, boundaries, and belonging.

Co-Parents Learning to communicate and collaborate effectively for the sake of your children — even when the romantic relationship has ended.

Grief & Loss Two or more family members carrying a shared loss — a parent, a sibling, a child — and needing space to grieve together, not just separately.

Caregiver & Care Recipient Navigating the emotional and relational complexity that comes when one family member steps into a caregiving role for another.

Friends A friendship that's hit a rupture — a betrayal, a falling out, or simply two or more people who've grown in different directions and aren't sure what's left. Sometimes the most significant grief isn't the end of a romance but the end of a friendship, and it deserves the same care.

Your Investment

Start with a free 20-minute phone call with all parties present to explore if working together is the right fit.

Relational Sessions (75 min) — $250-$300 Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions are 75 minutes because the work is inherently more complex — we're holding two or more individual experiences and the relationships between them. The extra time means we're not rushing, and you're not leaving mid-process. A 90-minute initial intake session is recommended, and is billed at your chosen hourly rate.

Family/relationship therapy is typically a private-pay service. Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, which a dyad often does not qualify for. In some cases, one or both members may meet criteria for a reimbursable diagnosis — and if that diagnosis becomes a clinical focus of the therapy, insurance billing may be possible. This will be evaluated during your intake session. You're welcome to check your potential benefits below as a first step, though whether reimbursement is possible will depend on the diagnosis determined at intake.
