Frequently Asked Questions About Family Therapy with Adult Children

It’s normal to have questions before starting family therapy.

At Willow Roots Therapy, we want you to feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

Below are answers to some of the most common questions
we receive from families considering therapy with adult children.

  • What is family therapy with adult children?

    This form of therapy brings adult children and their parents together to address past hurts, improve communication, and build stronger relationships. It provides a structured space for each person to share their perspective, understand one another better, and move forward with respect and empathy.

  • How do I know if my family would benefit from this kind of therapy?

    If your family experiences tension, frequent misunderstandings, or emotional distance, family therapy can help. Many families seek support during major life transitions—such as empty nesting, caregiving, or after long periods of estrangement.

  • Can siblings or other relatives join the sessions?

    Yes, depending on the situation. We tailor sessions to your family’s needs, which may include siblings or other key family members. We’ll discuss this during your consultation to ensure the most helpful structure for your therapy.

  • What issues can family therapy address?

    We help families work through a range of challenges, including:

    • Communication breakdowns
    • Estrangement or emotional distance
    • Parent-child role confusion
    • Resentment from childhood experiences
    • Ageing and caregiving stress
    • Grief or trauma affecting family dynamics
  • Is it too late to repair our relationship?

    It’s never too late to heal. With the right guidance, even long-standing rifts can be addressed. Many of our clients are surprised by the clarity and connection they experience once conversations are facilitated in a safe and supported setting.

  • Are sessions in-person or virtual?

    We offer both in-person therapy at our Ottawa office and virtual sessions for families living apart or seeking added flexibility.

  • How many sessions will we need?

    Every family’s pace is different. Some families see progress in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll work together to find the right plan based on your goals.

  • What are the costs for family therapy sessions?

    Fees vary depending on session length and therapist availability. We’re happy to review options during your consultation and explore what works best for your family’s budget.
