Family Counseling
Families go through developmental stages, just like individuals do. It's common for a family system to have difficulty moving from one stage to the next, or to run into communication breakdowns, conflict, and other challenges along the way. Family therapy at San Diego Mindfulness Center offers support to the whole family system, and to each person within it — appropriate for nuclear families, multi-generational families, and select members of a family, such as a parent-child pair or a sibling group.
Who Family Counseling Can Help
Loss of a loved one
Career changes affecting the family
Trauma, including child abuse and domestic violence
Serious concerns such as self-harm, suicidality, or disordered eating
The transition from childhood to adolescence to young adulthood
Separation, divorce, or remarriage
Addiction and its impact on the family system
Ongoing family conflict
Parent coaching and parenting skills
Some of these are the kind of thing that brings a family in during a moment of crisis, and others build up slowly over time. Both are valid reasons to reach out.
Our Approach
We draw on mindfulness-based principles alongside evidence-informed family therapy approaches, working with the family as a system rather than focusing on a single “identified problem” member. Our therapists help families build healthier patterns of communication, repair old wounds, and move through transitions with more understanding and less conflict.
