Our Family Counseling Services
Many families seek therapy due to a buildup of unresolved concerns. These concerns can include shifting responsibilities in the household, tension from blended family arrangements, or mismatched expectations between generations. Therapy helps families discuss these issues in a productive setting.
At Twin Cities Mental Health & Couples Center, we provide guidance for navigating unresolved conflicts, stress, trauma, and communication breakdowns. Our therapists help uncover behavioral patterns and find more constructive ways to interact with each other. We incorporate the following therapeutic modalities in our sessions:
- Internal family systems (IFS) – This therapy helps clients explore different “parts” of themselves to improve emotional balance and reduce reactivity in relationships.
- Accelerated resolution therapy (ART) – This approach uses eye movements and visualization to reduce the impact of distressing memories and emotions.
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) – This method helps reprocess traumatic experiences through guided eye movements, reducing emotional triggers and responses.
These often serve as a foundation for the broader services we provide, which address the unique needs of each family member. We also offer:
Child & Adolescent Therapy
We help families create a supportive and harmonious environment where every member feels heard, understood, and valued. Our child and adolescent therapy services can support young individuals and improve family interactions. Therapy sessions may explore concerns such as emotional regulation, social challenges, academic stress, identity development, and behavioral changes.
Our therapists apply age-appropriate techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and creative expression to guide children and teens as they process their experiences and build healthy coping mechanisms. We also collaborate with parents and caregivers to establish consistent support strategies at home.
