For Families and Loved Ones
You can care about someone’s recovery and seek support for your own needs at the same time.
Arrange a Free ConsultationYour Experience Matters
Loving someone with substance use or mental health concerns can bring complicated feelings and difficult decisions. You do not have to know what the other person will do before talking about your own needs.
You might be weighing what to say, how much responsibility to take on or how to respond when a loved one asks for help. You may also feel worn down by repeated conversations. These are reasons to seek a conversation about your own experience. We can listen to what is happening in your family without assuming that caring for someone means setting aside your own concerns.
Questions From Families
Can I ask about support for myself?
Yes. Tell us about your own concerns and what you want help discussing. You can ask about therapy or recovery and wellness coaching without first deciding what care your loved one will seek. We can discuss a provider match and current availability.
How is family coaching different from shared therapy?
Coaching begins with practical recovery and wellness goals, strengths and resources. Couples and family sessions provide a setting to discuss relationship concerns together. Ask us which service fits the conversation you need.
What if I am considering an intervention?
You can ask about help planning a caring, structured conversation about substance use. The consultation can include your concerns, possible support for your family and questions about what an intervention involves.
Does everyone need to join the consultation?
Call or text the main practice line to discuss who the support is for and ask who should participate. We can discuss the format you need.
Care Without Taking Over
Support can include thinking about communication, boundaries and your own well-being. We begin with your goals and resources rather than telling you what your family should look like.
In a session, you can bring an example of a difficult exchange or a decision you are facing. We can talk about the boundaries you want to consider and the resources available to you. The work starts with what you want support to address. It does not depend on promising to change another person’s behavior or deciding what their recovery must look like.
Choose the Conversation You Need
We offer couples, family and group sessions, recovery and wellness coaching, and help planning substance use interventions. You can ask about support for yourself or about care involving your loved one.
Use a free 15-minute consultation to ask about individual support, shared sessions, coaching or intervention planning. Our offices are in Cheshire and West Hartford; ask about in-home options and telehealth while located in Connecticut. Let us know your language and location preferences. Ask about insurance, current rates and out-of-network superbills.
