Family Communication Therapy

A divorce or breakup can be one of the most traumatic emotional experiences in life. YourTherapist has created a program for couples and families who are going through the process of a breakup or divorce to help them heal together and start a healthy journey forward.

This package is created to help couples and their children go through the separation process with the least emotional and financial impact possible. The package includes two therapy sessions: a mediation session, and a follow-up session.

We are here for you in your journey of healing. Contact us for details and to book the package.

Why Therapy?

Life doesn’t come with a manual and many of us can get stuck in thoughts, habits, or patterns that are difficult to see when we’re going through them. Things can become more complicated when we suffer from childhood trauma, PTSD, depressive symptoms, or the anxiety of what may happen in the future.

Therapy is about helping you overcome obstacles, increase your positive feelings, and learn to connect to others in healthier ways. Our therapists are highly trained to recognize emotional struggles or behavioural issues, providing you with guidance when you might get stuck and helping you lead a more content life.

Benefits of Therapy

Research shows that those who seek therapy often become more self-aware, make better decisions, communicate better with others, and create more fulfilling social connections and relationships.

What are Therapy Sessions Like?

You may wonder what it may be like to come to therapy.
The first session is a consultation – a meeting for us to get to know each other and start building a therapeutic relationship.
It is also an opportunity for you to ask your therapist questions about their methods and talk about what issues you want to address.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is family communication therapy?

Family communication therapy focuses specifically on improving how family members communicate with one another. It helps build skills for expressing thoughts and emotions clearly, listening effectively, and reducing misunderstandings.

How is it different from family counselling?

Family communication therapy is more focused on communication skills and patterns between family members. Family counselling, in contrast, addresses broader concerns such as emotional wellbeing, relationship dynamics, parenting challenges, mental health concerns, and life transitions.

What concerns can it help with?

It can support challenges such as frequent arguments, miscommunication, difficulty listening, emotional disconnection, and patterns of ineffective communication.

What happens during a session?

A therapist guides structured conversations and teaches practical communication strategies. Family members practice skills such as active listening, clear expression, and respectful dialogue in a supportive environment.

Where are sessions available?

Services are available in Ottawa Central, Ottawa East, Kingston, and online across Canada.
