Family therapy in Calgary

There aren’t many options for family therapy in Calgary, which is why we wanted to use our space and provide this for those who need it.
We have a beautiful, centrally located space that provides a great setup for family counselling in Calgary.

What is family therapy?

Family therapy generally involves two or more family members who are engaged in some sort of roadblock, where communication has stopped, or the relationship has failed. The main goal of family therapy is for the family psychologist to be a mediator, teaching individuals how to listen to each other, how to repair the broken relationship, and how to create a level of empathy that helps reconnect family ties.

How does it work?

Family therapy can feel overwhelming, but trained therapists know how to manage strong emotions and keep everyone safe, as we do at Conscientia Counselling. Family therapy can be a valuable asset in the reunification process and in helping to re-establish and repair the connections between family members.

Family therapy/counselling misconceptions

A common misconception is that family therapy is only for parents and children. Sometimes it’s for siblings. Other times, it involves adult professionals. For example, we often work with immigrant families where family therapy helps bridge the gap between parents and their children, who grew up in a different society.

Our family counselling services, the family therapy can even involve friends who see each other as family and are struggling to reconnect.

At Conscientia Counselling, family therapy is not just about addressing isolated issues; it’s about looking at the entire family system. We take a holistic approach to identify what’s not functioning within the family dynamic, whether it’s communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, or emotional disconnection. Our goal is to help families rebuild these structures so that each member can thrive and the family as a whole can flourish.

With a focus on understanding and empathy, Conscientia Counselling supports families in Calgary as they navigate the complexities of their relationships, helping them to re-establish a stronger, healthier bond.
