Question 1

What does a family therapy session look like?

Accepted Answer

Bringing everyone into one room can feel like a big step. A therapist can explain how they give each person a chance to speak, how they handle tension, and how often they suggest meeting. Ask them to describe a first session. In Alma's East Orange directory, read profiles of therapists who work with families before you reach out.
