Family Therapy and Counseling
Find growth and healing within your family system
Family is a deeply personal and sensitive thing for many people. Whether your family is navigating a major loss, struggling to communicate as co-parents, or facing a difficult life transition, we want to be here to guide you with care and compassion.
Family therapy can be helpful for almost any family. It’s a powerful way to address problems within a family dynamic or a specific relationship, and it offers your family a safe space to explore challenges and find solutions together. At Inneractions, we want to help your family learn more helpful ways of communicating and navigating life's challenges as a united front.
We understand that family doesn’t always look the same. Every family is unique, which is why our experienced counselors tailor family counseling to your family’s specific culture and needs. Whether your family is biological, blended, chosen, or otherwise, healing is possible and we are here to help.
What is Family Counseling and How Can it Help?
A holistic approach to family well-being
At its core, family counseling is about creating a non-judgmental space for families to work together. It’s a place where you can learn new ways of communicating, support each other, and resolve problems as a cohesive unit. Our goal is to help your family strengthen its bonds and work through challenges together.
At Inneractions, we strongly believe in the power of communication and emotional connection. Our team of experienced family counselors in Atlanta draw on various evidence-based and creative approaches, like systems theory, CBT, emotionally focused therapy, and experiential therapy, to help your family achieve your goals and function more harmoniously.
Common Situations We Help Families Navigate
Every family is different, which means your reasons for seeking counseling will be unique to you. However, in our years of experience, we’ve seen common threads in why families seek help. Our experienced family counselors are here to support you through many of life’s most difficult moments, including:
Life Transitions: Navigating the birth of a child, separation, divorce, remarriage, job loss, or retirement.
Grief and Loss: Coping with the death of a family member or another significant loss.
Relationship Challenges: Addressing co-parenting issues, blended and stepfamily dynamics, parent-child relationships, or conflict resolution.
Illness and Caregiving: Managing the stress of a chronic illness, disability, or caring for a family member.
LGBTQ+ Issues: Providing support for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

At Inneractions, our team of dedicated and experienced therapists is committed to providing compassionate and effective care. Our team draws on years of experience using evidence-based, trauma-informed and, neurodiversity-affirming approaches to ensure every family member feels seen, safe, and understood.

Therapy for Neurodivergent Families and Individuals
Neurodivergence is all about understanding the many different ways our brains can be wired. Neurodivergence includes conditions like autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and more. When one or more family members are neurodivergent, it brings unique joys, strengths, and challenges to the family system.
Family therapy can be a powerful resource for families with a neurodivergent child, teen, or parent. Our compassionate therapists help you create a validating and accessible environment where everyone feels understood and accepted.
We use strength-based perspectives, focusing on each family member’s unique abilities and helping you develop collaborative problem-solving skills, structured communication strategies, and emotional regulation tools. We also offer parent coaching to help you better support your neurodivergent loved one.
Supporting Families with Neurodivergent Children
Our support for neurodivergent families focuses on practical, heartfelt solutions, including:
Navigating educational and social challenges.
Learning emotional regulation strategies.
Improving communication and sibling dynamics.
Developing effective co-parenting strategies and psychoeducation.
If you’re looking for family therapy for autism, or ADHD family counseling, our team is here to provide dedicated neurodivergent family support in Atlanta.
What to Expect in a Family Therapy Session
Stepping into family therapy for the first time can feel like a big step, and we want to make it as comfortable as possible. In a typical session, you can expect a safe and open space for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings without judgment. The first step on your family therapy journey is an intake session. In this session you will meet with one of our trained family counselors to highlight your history, family dynamics and values, and set goals for your family.
Our sessions often involve a mix of individual and group conversations, therapeutic exercises, and sometimes "homework" to practice new skills between sessions. We’ll work together to establish short- and long-term goals for your family, whether that's improving communication, resolving a specific conflict, or simply strengthening your emotional connection. Our goal is to empower you to build lasting positive change.
