At One Tree Psychological and Therapeutic Services, we provide family therapy in Edmonton to help families navigate conflict, strengthen relationships and create healthier patterns for communication. Whether you’re facing ongoing tension, major life transitions, or simply want to feel more connected, our experienced clinicians are here to support your family with empathy and practical tools for lasting change.
What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a collaborative approach, often short-term, that focuses on improving how family members interact and support one another. It’s not about assigning blame, it’s about understanding each person’s perspective, identifying patterns that may be causing conflict, and finding new ways to relate that foster understanding and respect. It can include the entire family or just those willing to participate, and may involve a mix of individual and group sessions.
Through guided sessions, your family learns to express needs safely, set boundaries, and build stronger emotional bonds.
When Family Therapy Can Help
Families often seek therapy when they experience:
- Frequent arguments or emotional distance
- Struggles around parenting or discipline
- The effects of separation, divorce, or blended-family transitions
- Communication breakdowns or feelings of being unheard
- Stress from external changes (school, work, health, finances)
- A desire to rebuild trust and closeness
You don’t need to wait until things feel “broken.” Many families use therapy as a way to proactively strengthen connection and resilience.
Our Approach
At One Tree Psychological, our family therapists use evidence-based approaches that are tailored to each family’s needs, including:
- Family Systems Therapy: exploring patterns of interaction and underlying dynamics.
- Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT): helping family members express and respond to emotions in healthy, supportive ways.
- Structural and Solution-Focused Therapy: creating clear roles, boundaries, and actionable strategies for change.
We provide a respectful, inclusive, and safe space for all family types, including blended families, co-parents, and chosen families.
