Family Intensives are a great resource for all types of families. Alongside Tabitha Pack LCMHCS, families will participate in therapy sessions together. This service is typically 4 to 6 sessions, with the session length being around 90 minutes long. Some families that might want this type of therapy are caregivers with different parenting styles, loss of connection with teens or older children, divorce, family conflict, sibling rivalry, blended families, or adoption issues. This service is also beneficial for families who want to better support their children with a mental health diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can grandparents raising their grandchild attend?
Yes. Families of all structures and backgrounds are welcome to participate.
Does the whole family have to attend?
During the initial assessment session, we will identify the concerns and establish goals for treatment. At that time, we will also determine which family members or relationships are most important to include in sessions.
How is “family” defined?
“Family” includes any individuals who play a significant role in caring for the child or who are part of the household and family system.
Will everyone need to attend every session?
Not necessarily. The therapist will guide which family members should attend each session. For the process to be effective, it is important that those identified by the therapist are present when requested.
Will conflict be allowed during sessions?
Yes. Differences of opinion are a natural part of family dynamics. Therapists will support family members in expressing themselves in respectful ways and will guide the use of healthy conflict resolution strategies.
What if my child doesn’t want to attend?
It’s common for children or teens to feel hesitant at first. Therapists are skilled in helping young people feel safe and comfortable. We will work with you to understand your child’s concerns and support their participation at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, many children become more engaged as they begin to feel heard and understood.
