A Connection-Focused, Multi-Generational Path to Long-Term Familial Healing
What Is Intergenerational Family Therapy?
Intergenerational Family Therapy is a gentle, highly structured form of family therapy that goes beyond the surface, examining how beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns have passed through generations. By exploring influences that may stretch back to grandparents or great-grandparents, this therapy helps families break unhelpful cycles, heal together, and foster deeper connection.
In a safe, nonjudgmental space, each family member is invited to be heard, understood, and validated all working towards more peaceful, meaningful relationships.
How Integerational Family Therapy Works
Tracing Generational Patterns
Your therapist guides your family in reflecting on relational dynamics, roles, and emotional themes passed down across generations. This exploration sheds light on where current conflicts or disconnection originate and how they can be transformed.
Building Empathy and Insight
By understanding deeply rooted family themes, family members cultivate empathy for one another and gain clarity on how to shift patterns toward healthier ways of relating.
Learning New Skills Together
Practical communication techniques, emotional safety strategies, and relational tools are woven into each session so your family can become more supportive, connected, and emotionally resilient.
