Family Counseling
When one person is struggling, the whole family feels it.
Free phone consultation. In Sisters, a half hour from Bend and Redmond, or by secure video anywhere in Oregon.
Individual sessions $190, couples sessions $195. A sliding scale is available. Ask about family session rates on your free consultation call. Not every clinician takes every plan; we match you with someone who takes yours.

A family is a system. When one member struggles, everyone adjusts, and those adjustments become patterns of their own: the peacemaker, the one who acts out, the parent who over-functions, the one who withdraws. Family counseling works with the pattern, not with a single identified problem person.
This may be for you if…
- A teenager who has shut down, and parents who do not know how to reach them
- Parents who disagree about how to handle a child's struggles
- A blended family still working out roles and loyalties
- A death, illness, divorce, or move that has shaken everyone
- Adult children and aging parents renegotiating care and independence
We start with whoever is willing to come. Sometimes that is everyone; often it is two or three people, and the rest join later or not at all. Each person gets to be heard without being interrupted, which for many families is the first new thing that happens.
The goal is not a family without conflict. It is a family that can have conflict and stay connected, where a hard conversation ends with everyone still in the room.
