Family Therapy in Dumont, NJ—Work with a Dedicated Therapist
Jamie is graduating from her doctoral program in the coming months and wants all of her family to attend and celebrate this great achievement. The only downside is that her parents are divorced and don’t get along too well. She wants her mom and dad to be able to put their differences aside for her big day, but she fears they won’t be able to. Although they are a blended family, she thinks that family therapy could be the fix they need. Both her parents agree to support their daughter and are able to put all of their problems out on the table to be fixed. On Jamie’s big day, she knows she’ll now be able to celebrate without fear of conflict.
No two families are alike. Blended families, like Jamie’s, often have a hard time overcoming their differences for the sake of the people involved. No matter if your family is having a hard time communicating, can’t see eye to eye on certain issues, are coping with a loss, or have deep-rooted issues that need to be resolved, there is help readily available for you. Here at Thriveworks Counseling, we dedicate ourselves to providing our clients with an unbiased, safe, and open environment to facilitate healthy communication and problem-solving.

Can Therapy Help My Family? Where Do We Get Started?
Deciding to pursue therapy is often a difficult decision for family members. In Jamie’s case, both of her parents were welcoming to the idea of putting their differences aside. However, that’s not the case for all families. If you want to start therapy and are having a hard time convincing your relatives that this is a good idea, try explaining to them what it means to you to try. Also, explain to them the many different ways that therapy can help. Including helping you work through things like…
- Behavioral problems in children
- Sibling rivalry
- Communication issues
- Grief and loss
- Trauma and PTSD
- Abandonment
- Parenting issues
- Mental illness such as anxiety and depression
- Financial strain and stress
- Major life changes
- Coping with a diagnosis
- And more
There is help for everyone. To get started, the first thing you need to do is just reach out. Our team of scheduling specialists will be more than happy to help you find a time that best fits the needs of your entire family.
What Should We Expect from Family Therapy?
Our therapists are dedicated to providing well-rounded, client-focused care. This means that they will assess each family member’s needs, wants, and goals to find where the missing cracks are in your relationships. In doing so, your family therapist will come up with a treatment plan that is centered around your unique situation and challenges.
Family therapy is often short-term, meaning that you can be finished in as little as nine sessions. We do understand that no two situations are unique so don’t feel down if you end up needing more than nine sessions. It’s completely okay.
Using a variety of different methods and techniques such as traditional talk therapy, play therapy, narrative therapy, art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and stress and anger management techniques, you can accomplish all of your goals. In addition, you’ll be equipped with the tools and skills you need to move forward and problem-solve effectively when future conflicts arise. In family therapy, you can expect to:
- Talk openly and honestly about the problems you are having.
- Address communication issues amongst family members.
- Identify where your problems lie and how to overcome them.
- Understand the importance of active listening.
- Build trust in your relationships.
- Set familial roles and boundaries.
- Work together to meet on a common ground through compromise.
