Is your family struggling to connect? Maybe it’s getting harder and harder to communicate, and conflict is starting to take over your daily life. Family therapy can help you bridge the gap, rebuild trust, and foster healthier communication.
For many of us, our family is not only our first agent of socialization but also our safe space, shaping how we see ourselves and how we navigate the world around us. That’s why, when something isn’t quite right and we can’t fix it, it affects all of us in a deep and meaningful way.
At our Deerfield counseling practice, you can find a specialized family counselor who’ll provide a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and develop practical tools to reduce stress and resolve conflict.
We work with all types of families—those with young children or teens, families in transition, blended families, and more. No matter your family’s structure, a family therapist can help address a wide range of challenges, including:
Behavioral issues in children or teens.
Changes within the family.
Divorce, separation, or marital problems.
Parenting challenges
Parent–child or sibling conflicts.
Stressful events or major life transitions
Chronic illness or mental health conditions
Don’t let your struggles tear your family apart! Together, you have the power to grow and the strength to heal—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Every family faces challenges at some point, and there’s no shame in seeking help. You may be feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, but healing and reconnection are possible.
Within our team, we’ll connect you with an experienced family counselor who will provide the tools and guidance to help you reach your goals.
Family counseling can support you in many ways, including:
Strengthening communication.
Improving family dynamics and deepening bonds.
Building self-esteem.
Resolving conflicts constructively.
Offering support during major life transitions and providing a safe space to share.

Our goal is to build a collaborative relationship grounded in trust and mutual respect—one where you feel supported, understood, and truly heard. Together, we’ll explore underlying issues and develop strategies to help you navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence.
Our family therapists take a multi-faceted approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based approaches to support your healing.
Some of the approaches we incorporate include:
By examining family interactions and roles, this approach helps address boundaries, power dynamics, and patterns that contribute to problems.
Especially helpful for behavioral issues, substance use, or parent–child conflicts, it focuses on specific family problems and improves problem-solving.
Letting each family member share their story helps understand how their experiences shape them and their relationships, guiding a new family narrative.
Exploring each family member’s past and relationships provides a deeper understanding of how they interpret and respond to current challenges.
In family therapy at Ammirati Counseling Group, we empower you to move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths as a family and reconnect you with each other.
Looking for family counseling in Deerfield, Bannockburn, or the North Chicagoland area? Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you through it with care and understanding.
A family counselor helps identify your unique psychological, emotional, and behavioral needs. They provide a safe, supportive space for you to process emotions, share experiences, and develop healthier ways to cope with conflict or adjust to life changes.
The main goal of family therapy is to strengthen family bonds by improving communication and conflict resolution. Your family therapist will also provide practical tools to help you navigate challenges and foster a healthier family dynamic.
Absolutely. While it’s ideal for everyone to participate in family therapy, it’s not always possible—and that’s okay. Not every family member needs to attend every session. We’ll adapt the process based on who is available and willing to join.
If you’re the one ready to start, we’re more than happy to meet with you for individual counseling and focus on the family dynamics you’re navigating. One person can make meaningful progress within a family and even inspire others to grow.
That’s absolutely okay! We offer online therapy sessions and can accommodate hybrid sessions—some family members can join in person at our office, while others participate virtually.
