Family Therapy
Healing Relationships, Restoring Connection
Families are the original field of connection — where we first learn love, belonging, and boundaries. They are also where wounds are often carried, repeated, and, with awareness, transformed. At In-Sight Transformative Therapy Group, family therapy offers a safe, compassionate space for families to explore patterns, rebuild trust, and nurture understanding across generations.
​
A Trauma-Informed, Relational Approach
Our work with families is grounded in Relational Gestalt Therapy and trauma-informed systems thinking. We understand that when one member of the family is struggling, everyone is impacted. The goal is not to assign blame but to uncover how each person’s experience, history, and nervous system responses shape the larger family dynamic.
Whether it’s a recent conflict or a long-standing pattern, we help families slow down, make sense of emotional cycles, and discover new ways of supporting one another. This process allows for greater safety, empathy, and connection — the foundation for healing and growth.
​
Working With Adult Children and Families
Our therapists specialize in helping families navigate the complex terrain of adult child–parent relationships. These relationships often carry years of unspoken emotion, unmet needs, and generational patterns that continue to influence the present.
Family therapy offers a chance to:
-
Revisit old stories with compassion and understanding.
-
Address the impact of trauma, loss, or addiction on family bonds.
-
Learn how to stay connected while respecting new boundaries and identities.
Healing with adult children and parents is not about rewriting the past — it’s about creating space for authentic relationship in the present.
​
Intergenerational Trauma and Relational Repair
Many families carry pain that didn’t start with them. Unresolved trauma, loss, or systemic stress can be passed down through behaviors, silence, and emotional patterns. By exploring these dynamics in a safe, supported environment, families begin to see how history lives in the present — and how it can be transformed.
Through experiential dialogue, somatic awareness, and relational presence, we help families understand how trauma has shaped their patterns of contact, protection, and distance. Together, we work toward repair — not perfection, but renewed capacity for connection and resilience.

Common Themes in Family Therapy
Family therapy can help when you’re facing:
-
Ongoing conflict, blame, or emotional distance.
-
The impact of trauma, grief, or addiction.
-
Changes in family structure or roles.
-
Difficulty navigating boundaries with adult children or aging parents.
-
A desire for greater understanding and closeness.
No matter where your family begins, the process is always guided by curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person’s experience.
​
