Family Therapy and Support
Families can be a source of deep connection, but they can also experience stress, conflict, and periods of disconnection. Whether you are navigating ongoing tension, communication challenges, or changes within your family, Upshur Bren Psychology Group offers family therapy in New York and coaching services nationwide to help your family move forward together.
Our approach looks at the family as a whole, helping you understand the patterns and dynamics that may be contributing to challenges. Through this work, families are able to reconnect, strengthen relationships, and create a more supportive and stable environment for everyone.

Get started by scheduling a free consultation with our concierge care team. We’ll take the time to understand your situation and offer a personalized recommendation for the services that best fit your needs.

Supporting a child or family member through emotional, behavioral, or mental health concerns
Disconnection, trust issues, or challenges in parent-child relationships
Ongoing conflict, communication challenges, or difficulty feeling heard within the family
Our work with families focuses on understanding the patterns and dynamics that shape your relationships. We create a space where each family member can feel heard, while also helping the family as a whole develop new ways of communicating and supporting one another.
Depending on your family’s needs, sessions may involve parents, children, or the full family system. We draw from evidence based approaches such as family systems therapy and attachment based work to help strengthen relationships, improve communication, and support meaningful, lasting change.
How family therapy works in practice
Getting started with family therapy
Start by scheduling a consultation with a member of our care coordination team. This initial 30-minute phone call can include parents or caregivers and is designed to help us understand your family’s unique situation.
During this call, we take the time to learn about your family dynamics, your concerns, and what you’re hoping to change. We then thoughtfully match you with a highly trained clinician who is well suited to support your family.
In your sessions, you’ll build insight and practical tools to address challenges and strengthen relationships across your family. Over time, the goal is to integrate these tools into your daily life so your family can navigate challenges more effectively with less need for ongoing therapy or coaching.
