Family therapy
Talking as a family, with no one left out
For families with teenagers or grown children, and for parents who want guidance.
Every voice counts
The therapist gives each person a turn, in whichever language comes easiest.
Two cultures at the same table
Parents and children often live the move to this country differently. We talk about that.
What is shared and what is not
Your therapist explains in writing what stays in the session and what limits the law sets.
What it is like
What it is like, in six points
Who it helps
Families with teenagers or grown children, and parents who want guidance.
What sessions look like
Everyone can come together, or only the parents, or one person at a time. The family decides.
How we work
Talk therapy for families, attentive to the change of country and language. Your therapist explains the method.
What it is not
It is not an evaluation for a legal or immigration matter. For that, we connect you with legal help.
Length and frequency
Sessions last 60 minutes. Your therapist sets the pace with the family.
How it is paid
With Medicaid, an insurance plan or a fee set by your income, given in writing before you start.

Questions
Three questions about this service
Can you see my teenager?
Yes, with parents or guardians in family therapy. The rules about a minor's consent depend on their age and on Illinois law; your therapist explains them in writing before you start.
What happens in the first session?
It lasts 60 minutes. Your therapist explains how they work, the limits of confidentiality and the possible risks and benefits of therapy, and listens. At the end, the two of you decide whether to continue.
How often are sessions, and for how long?
Your therapist sets the pace with you. We do not promise a number of sessions: you can stop or change therapists whenever you like.
