Family Therapy in Mooresville, NC
Families do better when everyone feels safe, heard, and supported. We help kids (10+), teens, and parents reduce conflict, improve communication, and create calm, consistent routines—especially when anxiety, ADHD, or trauma are in the mix.
When Family Therapy Helps
- Frequent conflicts, shutdowns, or meltdowns
- Power struggles around homework, screens, or chores
- Transitions (divorce, blending families, moves, losses)
- Anxiety/ADHD impacting home routines and relationships
- Trauma history and nervous-system dysregulation
- Parents wanting consistent tools and a unified plan
We begin seeing children at age 7. Brief parenting or caregiver sessions may be part of care individual care for kids and teens.

- Plan & roles – Clarify who attends which sessions (child/teen, parent(s), or together).
- Skills & practice – Communication scripts, regulation tools, routines, and problem-solving.
- Apply at home – One small change each week; troubleshoot barriers.
- Review & sustain – Solidify wins and plan for setbacks.
