Family Counseling in Mesa, AZ

What is Family Counseling?

Family therapy can be a helpful approach to almost any area of distress, conflict, or mental health concerns within a family.

Although we love thinking that happy and healthy families are naturally the most enriching relationships in life, that may not always be the case. Familis can be impacted by a wide range of obstacles – things like finances, children, death or loss, divorces, and more. At Biltmore Psychology and Counseling, our specialized family counselors can provide a safe, structured opportunity to work through any issue thrown at you and your family.

Our psychologists and counselors use a variety of techniques to help families heal. A common technique used in family therapy is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which can help distressed families heal and grow far beyond the counseling sessions.

Every one of our counselors bring a holistic understanding of family dynamics to his or her practice, and all of our counseling services are applicable for LGBT families and communities.
