Family Therapy in Connecticut

Reclaim your family balance

Family therapy in Hamden, CT, and online for residents of Connecticut, New York City, and Massachusetts.

We all know that families are complex. We are a unit comprised of individuals, each with their own needs and goals. Understanding how to balance those needs and goals can feel impossible, and perhaps communicating effectively feels even harder.

Families can start to struggle for any number of reasons. They can be strong and still have difficulty during periods of transition or stress. Perhaps you are attempting to blend two families into one with a new marriage. Maybe a child is struggling with their mental health or behavior. Here at Collaborative Change, we are dedicated to helping families reclaim harmony and balance. Our goal for family therapy is to create a safe environment in which to voice concerns and aspirations, work on patterns of behavior in the home that are creating pain, and learn new techniques for healthy interactions.
