Providing family therapy to families across Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and the surrounding communities.

What It Is & How It Works

  • Systemic Approach: Sees the family as an interconnected system, where one person's issue affects everyone, and change in one part can help the whole.

  • Collaborative: Therapists work with the family, not just on them, to explore dynamics, express needs, and practice new ways of interacting.

  • Safe Space: Provides a structured, nonjudgmental setting for open, guided conversations that might not happen at home. 

Common Goals & Issues Addressed

  • Improved Communication: Learning to express thoughts and needs constructively.

  • Conflict Resolution: Addressing arguments, resentment, or hurtful patterns.

  • Coping with Stressors: Managing divorce, grief, financial issues, blended family adjustments, or a family member's serious illness.

  • Supporting Mental Health: Helping families understand and support loved ones with mental illness or addiction.

  • Strengthening Bonds: Building emotional understanding and resilience. 

Types of Families It Helps

  • Not just traditional nuclear families; it's for any family unit, including blended, LGBTQ+, chosen, adopted, extended, or even just two people in a close relationship.
