Family Counseling Services for Mental Health in MA
Every family experiences tension or disconnect at some point, especially when mental health challenges are involved. At Rebuilding Mental Health, we offer compassionate family therapy to help you communicate better, rebuild trust, and grow together.
What Is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a type of counseling that brings family members together to work through conflict, improve communication, and better support one another. The goal isn’t to assign blame but to understand each other and create a healthier family dynamic.
According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, over 90% of clients report improved emotional health after participating in this therapy. It’s an evidence-based approach that can support families navigating stress, change, or long-standing tension.
Why Family Therapy Matters
Mental health doesn’t only affect one person. It impacts the entire family system. When someone is struggling, those around them often feel confused, helpless, or overwhelmed. It creates a space to:
- Break harmful patterns and build better boundaries
- Improve emotional connection and mutual understanding
- Provide loved ones with tools to support each other
- Heal in a way that brings everyone forward together
What Issues Can Family Counseling Help With?
Family counseling is helpful for many situations. Whether you’re facing daily challenges or dealing with something more serious, therapy can guide your family toward healthier communication and deeper trust. We can help you and your family work through topics such as:
- Communication breakdowns
- Mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, or trauma
- Grief or loss
- Parenting struggles
- Conflict between siblings or partners
- Divorce, co-parenting, and blended family transitions
- Boundary setting and codependency
- Education and support for loved ones of those in treatment

Family counseling at Rebuilding Mental Health is collaborative, supportive, and structured around your family’s needs. We create a space where everyone has a voice and feels safe to share their thoughts and concerns.
Collaborative Sessions
We offer a neutral space where family members can speak openly, listen actively, and start to rebuild trust and connection.
Approaches Used
Our therapists use proven methods like systems theory, structural family therapy, and aftercare to guide healing.
Client-Centered
Every family is different. We tailor sessions to your goals, your structure, and your shared history.
Who Is Family Therapy For?
Family sessions are for any group of people who care about each other but are struggling to connect. This includes biological families, blended families, chosen families, or support systems of close friends.
It’s a good fit if your family is open to change, willing to listen, and ready to build something stronger. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit, just ready for something better.

Our Levels of Care
Family therapy is available across all levels of care at Rebuilding. Whether your loved one is attending treatment or you’re coming as a family unit, we’ll meet you where you are.
Day Treatment
An intensive Day Treatment program is suited for people who need strong structure. You’ll attend groups, individual sessions, and skills-based work focused on attention, organization, and emotional regulation.
Half-Day Treatment
For a step down, you can attend Half-Day Treatment sessions. This offers hands-on ADHD therapy and skills training in shorter blocks, allowing you to maintain a balance between work, classes, and family life.
