WHAT are we going to do? 

HOW can family counseling help us?

Did you know that in a family of 4 you are managing approximately 11 relationship dynamics?!

Is your family going through a rough patch? 

Exhausted by tension at home, constantly managing conflict instead of enjoying conversation? 

Are you tired of seeing yourself repeat the same unhealthy coping strategies and conflicts you experienced growing up? 


 Healing the Legacy: Family and Adolescent Counseling

Trauma-Informed Support for Every Generation

At Counseling SDC, we believe healing the family legacy means supporting every member, from the children who are struggling to find their place to the parents striving to reconnect. Our family counseling services are specialized, targeting the intersection of trauma, identity, and complex family relationships.

We help families move past cycles of disconnection and conflict to build a secure, supportive environment where every member can thrive.

Our Specialized Focus

We do not offer generic family counseling. Our services are anchored in specific expertise designed for high-stress family dynamics:

Trauma-Informed Support for ages 5-18

Navigating identity, peer pressure, and high-stakes family expectations can be overwhelming. We provide specialized support for teen girls dealing with anxiety, self-esteem issues, identity confusion, and the impact of systemic stress. Our approach utilizes attachment-based therapy and trauma processing (like EMDR) to foster self-compassion and resilience.

Addressing Intersectional and Multicultural Identity

As clinicians with backgrounds in multicultural and mixed-race family systems, we provide a culturally fluent space for families navigating racial trauma, identity confusion, and complex cultural expectations. We help children, teens, and parents understand how systemic stress impacts their communication and bond.

How We Work: Building Secure Bonds

Our family therapy is based on principles of attachment and accountability, ensuring lasting change:

  • For the Child/Teen: We utilize creative, developmental approaches, including Play Therapy and Filial Therapy techniques, to help them process difficult emotions and communicate unmet needs without words.

  • For the Parents: We teach parents the principles of secure attachment and co-regulation, providing clear, actionable skills to respond to their child's needs instead of reacting to their behavior.

  • The SDC Advantage: If parental conflict is fueling the family distress, we offer seamless referrals to our Advanced Attachment Repair services for the couple (You), ensuring the entire system is healing concurrently.


If your family is ready to break cycles and build a stronger relational future, we are here to support you.
