Family Relationships
& Estrangement

You are hurting over a relationship that matters deeply to you.

"I feel so distant from my adult child."

"I feel so distant from my adult child."

"I can't say no to my mom."

"I can't say no to my mom."

"I'm hurt but I still love them."

"I'm hurt but I still love them."

"I keep hoping things will go back to the way they were."

"I keep hoping things will go back to the way they were."

Maybe your adult child has pulled away, or your relationship with a parent has become harder to navigate. You may find yourself replaying conversations, wondering what went wrong, or hoping things will eventually go back to the way they were.

It's hard to know what to do when you want a relationship to improve but can't make that happen on your own. You might feel hurt, angry, guilty, or unsure whether to keep reaching out or give the other person space.

You want things to change, but you can't do it alone.

You may have spent years trying to make things better, choosing your words carefully, or putting your own feelings aside to avoid another disagreement. It's exhausting to keep trying when you aren't sure what will help.

Therapy gives you a space to work through the complicated feelings that come with difficult family relationships. We can explore patterns that keep showing up, talk about what you need, and figure out how to move forward when you can't control another person's choices.

You may not be able to change where a relationship stands today. But you can learn to navigate the uncertainty, make decisions that feel right for you, and take care of yourself along the way.
