Family Counseling Services in Chicago, IL

Family Counseling

Families are the context in which we live satisfied and fulfilling lives, and where we face many challenges as well.  Relationships with our closest loved ones need to grow, adapt and respond to life’s curve balls. While working with the whole family, we can help with: parenting differences, communication between parents and children; behavioral challenges in children and how best to approach them, choosing a religious tradition or navigating between two and difficulty agreeing to boundaries with in-laws. 

Request an appointment with one of our experienced family therapists today and take the first step towards a happier, healthier, family dynamic.
