SERVICES - FAMILY THERAPY
Family Therapy in New York City
Family life can be hard, even when everyone involved loves each other. A space where every voice in the room gets heard, and relationships start to feel less stuck.
Even strong families get stuck sometimes.
ABOUT FAMILY THERAPY
In-person in Manhattan or virtually across NY, NJ & TX.
Family life can be hard, even when everyone involved loves each other. Patterns get established. Communication breaks down. Old dynamics stop working.
At Grounded, we create a space where every person in the room gets to be heard, not just the loudest one. We work with all kinds of families: blended, chosen, multigenerational, and non-traditional, helping you communicate more clearly, work through conflict, and rebuild something that feels like what you actually want.
All Grounded family therapists are licensed in New York and hold LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, MHC-LP, or LMFT credentials. Many are in-network with Aetna and UMR Top Tier.
Every kind of family. No exceptions.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We create a warm, welcoming space for all families without judgment about structure, background, or history. What matters is that you're here and want to work on it together.
Blended and stepfamilies navigating new dynamics
Chosen family and non-traditional structures
Multigenerational families with complex histories
Families with LGBTQIA+ members, affirming for everyone in the room
Single-parent families and co-parenting after separation

How we work. Understanding the whole system, not just one person in it.
-
Family Systems Therapy
Looking at patterns across the whole family; how each member's behavior influences and is influenced by everyone else. Change doesn't happen in isolation, it ripples through the whole system.
-
Structural Family Therapy
Clarifying roles and rebuilding healthy dynamics when existing structures have stopped working, by creating clearer boundaries, healthier hierarchies, and communication patterns that actually function.
-
Psychodynamic Approaches
Exploring how each family member's history shapes how they show up in family relationships today and how generational patterns can shift.
-
Narrative Therapy
Helping family members separate from problem-saturated stories about each other and rebuilding a shared narrative that has room for everyone in it, not just the dominant one.
For families who want to work on it together.
Family therapy tends to be a good fit when:
IS FAMILY THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?
✓ The same conflict keeps happening with no resolution
✓ A major life transition has disrupted the family dynamic
✓ A child or teen is struggling and the whole family feels it
✓ Parents are not aligned on parenting and it's causing conflict
✓ The family is navigating a blended structure or new roles
✓ Communication has broken down to the point of silence or explosions
