Our Approach

The Family Is the Unit of Change.

At Symmetricly, we believe healthy relationships build healthy families — and healthy families build healthy communities. Family therapy isn’t just for families in crisis. It’s for any family that wants to talk better, get through a hard season, or break a pattern that keeps coming back.

We work with the whole family — not just one person. Because real change for one person almost always starts with something shifting at home.

When the family gets healthier, everyone in it does too.

Blended family adjustment — step-parents, step-siblings, and new household dynamics
Parent-teen communication breakdown
Family conflict and recurring arguments
Grief, loss, and major life transitions
Parenting alignment — getting on the same page with your partner
Rebuilding trust after a rupture
Common Situations

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

These are the situations we see most often. If yours isn’t listed, reach out anyway — we likely can help.

You’re Divorcing and Have Kids

You want to do this right — for your kids. You need someone who gets both the emotional weight and the logistics of co-parenting after a split, and who can help your children adjust without picking sides.

🏠

You’re Blending Two Families

Step-parents who feel left out. Kids who feel pushed aside. Different rules for different kids. Blending families is hard — and one of the most rewarding things to get right.

💥

Your Teenager Has Shut Down

They used to talk to you. Now they don’t. You’re not sure if it’s normal teen stuff or something more — and nothing you say seems to help. We help rebuild that connection.

The Same Arguments Keep Happening

Different day, same fight. Every family has patterns. But when those patterns are hurting your kids, your relationship, or your home life — it’s time to figure out what’s really going on.

The Process

How Family Therapy Works at Symmetricly

Family therapy looks different depending on your situation. Here’s our general process.

01

Free Consultation

A quick 15-minute call to talk through your situation and what you’re hoping to change. No commitment needed.

02

Assessment Session

We start by getting the full picture — the relationships, the history, the patterns. Sometimes we talk to people separately before bringing everyone together.

03

Family Sessions

We bring the right family members into the room — together or separately — to work through what’s causing harm and build better patterns going forward.

Why Symmetricly

What Makes Our Approach Different

We’re a relationship-centered practice. That means we always treat the relationship — not just the individual — as the unit of care.

Systems Thinking

We look at the whole family — not just the person who seems to be the problem. In most cases, there’s no one person to blame. Just a family that needs a reset.

Relationship-First

Even when we work with one person, we keep the bigger picture in mind. Your own healing and your relationships are connected — you can’t fully separate them.

Practical & Actionable

We don’t just talk about it — we give families real tools to use at home. Better ways to communicate, handle conflict, and rebuild trust.

Common Questions

Family Therapy Questions, Answered

Not always. Some sessions are just for parents. Some include specific family members. Some bring everyone together. We design it around what will actually help most.
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons families come to us. Co-parenting therapy helps separated parents get on the same page for the sake of their kids. You don’t need to be together to benefit.
It happens a lot. Therapy can still work even when not everyone shows up. Changes in one person often shift things for the whole family. We can also coach you on how to handle the people who won’t come.
It depends on your plan. We take Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, Optum, Oscar, and UnitedHealthcare. Call your insurance to ask about family therapy coverage. Self-pay and sliding scale options are also available.
Couples therapy is just for the two partners. Family therapy looks at the bigger picture — parents and kids, siblings, the whole household. Many families need both. We can help you figure out which fits your situation.
