Family Counselling and Therapy

At The Therapeutic Way, we understand that every family is different and unique. Family dynamics are influenced by people of different generations, cultures, religions, norms, roles of each member, etc. Parent-teenagers interactions, parent-adult children relationships, siblings interaction, relatives involvement, can have an impact on each individual in the family, which also affects interpersonal relationships with others outside of the family dynamics. 

Face your relationships with your family member with more energy, curiosity and openness

At The Therapeutic Way, we offer family therapy for parents, teens, and adult children. Relationships between young adult or adult children and parents can create tension from issues such as:

  • parental boundaries and involvement

  • children's individuality and autonomy

  • estrangement between parents and adult-children

  • parental expectations of adult children's lives

  • parental disagreement and disapprovement

  • comparison to others

  • resentment and anger from early childhood

  • abusive behaviours or trauma

  • emotional unavailability and invalidation

  • emotionally immature parents

  • sibling rivalry

  • and more. 


Opening up about your family issues, is never easy. Our family therapists take an active role to ensure all the members feel safe and heard. We want you to leave the session with a different experience than what you are used to.

In family therapy, you may meet with the licensed Burlington family therapist as a family and individually. The therapist will want to know you as a person and as a family unit.

Did you know in U.S., more than 25% of adults are estranged from a family member? And at least 40% experienced estrangement at some point?
