Family life is a lot. Find someone to talk it through with.

Browse by family situation

Every therapist here lists family or parenting among their specialties and works with adults on what is happening at home. Choose the situation closest to yours, then narrow the list by the other topics they work with.

  1. Parenting pressure

    School runs, bedtimes, screens, worry about how a child is doing, and the feeling of never quite getting it right. Support for the parent counts.

  2. Conflict at home

    The same arguments on repeat, tension at the dinner table, or people who have stopped speaking. Talking it through on your own can help you see what you want to change.

  3. Blended families

    A new partner, step-children, two households and loyalties pulling in different directions. It can take a long time for a new family shape to settle.

  4. Adult children and aging parents

    Looking after a parent, old roles coming back between grown siblings, or a grown child who has moved far away or back home.

  5. Co-parenting after separation

    Sharing children across two homes, handovers, new routines, and your own feelings about the split. Therapists do not give legal or custody advice.

  6. Family changes

    A new baby, a move, an illness, a death in the family or a child leaving home. Change can unsettle everyone, you included.

Browse by country and state
