Family therapy in Richmond, VA
Family therapy puts more than one member of a family in the room at the same time: a parent and a child, or a child and the wider family, working on the thing between them instead of each working on it alone. We offer family therapy in Richmond, VA at our Staples Mill Road office and by video, with the two clinicians here who do this work.

Is this what you are looking for?
Families usually call after the same argument has been running for months and nobody in it can see a way out. These are the reasons they give.
- The same argument keeps happening and nothing about it changes
- Your child behaves differently at home than anywhere else
- You and your co-parent disagree about how to handle it
- A separation, a move or a new step-family is unsettling everyone
- A death or a serious illness has changed how the family works
- One person is in individual therapy and the rest of you want to help
- A teenager has stopped speaking to one parent
- Everyone is walking on eggshells around one subject
You don’t need to check every box. If a few of these feel familiar, get in touch.
How the work actually goes.
Your clinician shapes this around your goals, your history and your pace. These are the approaches they draw on.
Everyone in the room
A session with a family in it is a different thing from a session about a family. What people actually do with each other turns up in the room, and that is the part that can be worked on.
Family systems thinking
A child’s difficulty is rarely only the child’s. Looking at the patterns a family has settled into usually does more than trying to change one person inside it.
Parents supported too
Parenting through a hard stretch is its own strain. Part of this work is time for parents, on what to do next and on what it has been costing you.
Individual work alongside
Some people need their own hour as well. We have fourteen clinicians, so a family member can see someone here separately while the family work continues.
Here’s what to expect.
