ABOUT US

Our Story

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’ve noticed a trend. Most therapy is about the relationships with the self or others. People come in talking about their partner, family members (s), friendships, and their relationship with their children. A lot of the time, therapists feel it’s a conflict to know the entire family and refer out and there is a disconnection. We wanted to create a space where we can support the entire family if needed under one roof. 

The Family Therapy Collaborative emerges from this recognition: a place where children, parentsor, or couples can find support.

What sets us apart is our dual focus—nurturing children through upheaval while simultaneously guiding parents through the intricate dance of co-parenting across separate households or helping couples while also seeing them separately which helps get a better picture of the issues.

Our Mission

We want to help people better connect and understand each other and themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Family Counseling Services

Do you work with families of all backgrounds?
Yes, we welcome all types of families and parenting structures.
Not always. It depends on the age of temperament of the child. Our Clinicians will assess for appropriateness.
If we determine you cannot be in the same physical space with the other person virtual sessions are a great option.
There is no age requirement for a child to be in therapy. Sometimes the earlier the better depending on the issue and we would want you to be in the session with the child if they are under a certain age to build stronger bonds and understand how you can better help. You’re Therapist will work with you to come up with a plan specific to your family needs.
If you are a parent and have an infant you are welcome to bring them with you to sessions because we understand how difficult childcare can be. We will do our best to schedule a time for your sessions based on your childcare availability.

Parenting & Co-parenting Support

Parenting can be extremely challenging at times. Not only because our children have big emotions, also because our stress levels can impact what we can tolerate and deal with in a way that is effective

Co-parenting can be extra difficult when you’re navigating your own emotions, resentments and conflict with your partner or ex-partner. Whether you’re dealing with divorce or past hurts, we’re here to help you develop better communication skills and boundaries to reduce tension and make the best choices for your children.

Couples

Strengthening relationships begins with identifying unhelpful patterns and learning to approach each other with genuine curiosity. When couples can truly hear one another without resorting to attacks, shame or defensiveness they can create deeper, more meaningful connections.

Children

Kids don’t always have words to express what they’re feeling, but they sure know how to show it. Whether your child is dealing with divorce, a new school, arguing at home or struggling with worrying or anger we are hear to help. We use play, art, and other child-friendly approaches because that’s how kids naturally communicate. We also work closely with the parents to understand what’s happening at home and to give practical tools to support your child. We want to help you understand your child’s world so we can help them feel more confident, calm connected. 

Family Therapy

Learning to listen to each other by learning to be curious and explaining our perspectives is an important step in connecting. When we are stuck in a pattern of thinking we are right and the other person is wrong or we know more than the others we will stay stuck. We will help you accept differences in each other.

Teens and Young Adults

13-25 years are tough. Between figuring out who we are, what we want to do with our life, dealing with friend/relationship drama and school and family pressures we can become overwhelmed. At The Heart Tree, we offer a place where teens can actually talk freely about what’s going on without being judged or lectured. We want to help teens work through their anxiety, depression, family and friend conflicts and everyday struggles while also working with parents to bridge communication gaps.
