Family Therapy in Los Angeles

Best Family Therapists Los Angeles You can Trust

We help families reconnect and heal together

Sometimes, it feels like you’re walking on eggshells in your own home. Conversations quickly turn into arguments. Silence feels safer than speaking. Or maybe everyone’s just going through the motions — distant, distracted, and worn out.

Families can lose their rhythm for a hundred different reasons. A child is struggling at school. You’re parenting teenagers and feel like nothing gets through. Divorce has changed how your family operates. Or maybe you’re part of a blended family trying to find a new sense of normal. Whatever brings you here, we want you to know: you’re not failing — you’re human. And there is a way forward.

How Family Counseling Works at Here Counseling

This isn’t about fixing one person in the family — it’s about looking at the bigger picture together. In therapy, we focus less on blame and more on understanding: What’s really going on beneath the surface? Why do certain arguments keep repeating? Where did everyone stop feeling safe to speak honestly?

Our approach is steady, compassionate, and tailored to your family’s rhythm. We draw from evidence-based models like family systems therapy and emotionally focused therapy, but we stay flexible — because every family is different.

You won’t be given a script. You’ll be given tools. Ways to pause before reacting. Language that helps instead of harms. A therapist who doesn’t take sides, but guides the conversation toward clarity and connection.

Family Therapy in Los Angeles, CA

We work with families in all shapes and stages — from couples navigating co-parenting, to multigenerational households under one roof. Our therapists in Los Angeles have experience with blended families, teenage challenges, parent-child conflict, cultural and generational differences, and more.

The first step is finding the right therapist for your unique situation. That’s why we take time to listen before pairing you with someone who fits not just your schedule, but your story.

What Family Therapy Can Do for You

It’s not always about major breakthroughs. Sometimes, it’s about learning how to talk to each other again. To sit at the dinner table without tension. To understand why your child has been acting out, or why your partner shuts down in conflict. Therapy helps you move toward those moments — slowly, but meaningfully.

Improve Communication

Learn how to talk — and listen — in ways that feel safer and more effective for everyone involved.

Work Through Conflict Without Escalation

Instead of repeating the same cycle, therapy gives you new ways to respond, reset, and repair.

Feel Like a Family Again

You don’t have to agree on everything. But you can feel more connected, more supported, and more at peace in your home.

Serving Families Across Los Angeles & Virtually Throughout California

We see clients in our Los Angeles office, as well as through secure online sessions for families across California. Whether your household is busy with commutes and school drop-offs or spread across multiple locations, we make showing up for each other possible.

What Is Family Counseling?

Family counseling is a collaborative form of therapy that focuses on the relationships between family members. Rather than isolating one person’s behavior or pain, it looks at the system as a whole — the way you interact, the unspoken rules, the roles everyone tends to fall into.

It’s a place where everyone gets a voice. Where difficult things can be said in a way that doesn’t damage, but helps repair. Where the goal isn’t perfection — it’s understanding, clarity, and emotional safety.

What Kinds of Issues Do We Work With in Family Therapy?

Families come in for all sorts of reasons. You don’t have to wait until things hit a breaking point.

We work with:

  • Parents feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from their kids
  • Teenagers struggling to express themselves or be heard
  • Co-parenting after separation or divorce
  • Couples navigating life transitions or parenting differences
  • Blended families learning to build trust and connection
  • Adult siblings or parent-child relationships strained by history
  • Cultural or generational conflicts that create tension in the home

Whether it’s a specific challenge or just a general sense that things aren’t working, we’re here to help.
