Frequently asked questions
Do I need my partner to come to therapy?

Do you see couples and families?
Yes. Our family services include sessions with partners, parents and other family members.
Can therapy help when a loved one is struggling with addiction?
Yes. Addiction strains relationships. Therapy can help you set boundaries, take care of yourself and support a loved one without losing yourself.
