Every family goes through hard seasons. Family counseling gives you a space to work through them — together.
Every family has its own dynamic, its own history, and its own challenges. Whether you’re navigating conflict, a major life change, a child’s struggles, or simply feeling disconnected from the people you love most — family counseling creates a structured, supportive space where everyone’s voice is heard and real change can happen.
At Transformative Growth Counseling, we welcome all family structures and all family situations. There’s no judgment here — just compassionate, skilled support to help your family find its footing again.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from family counseling. Sometimes the best time to get support is before things get worse.
Family counseling at TGC is collaborative, warm, and always tailored to your family’s specific needs and goals. Your therapist will create a space where every member of the family feels safe to share — and where the focus stays on understanding each other rather than winning arguments.
We work with all types of families — two-parent households, single-parent families, blended families, multigenerational families, and more. Whoever is part of your family unit is welcome here.
A note on individual support: We’ve found that family counseling is most effective when individual family members are also getting their own support alongside it. If a child, teen, or parent is carrying something that needs individual attention, our therapists can help connect them with the right individual, couples, or child therapy services within our practice. We’re a full-service practice — so whatever your family needs, we can help you find the right combination of support.
We don’t just treat symptoms — we look at the full picture of what’s happening in your family system and build a plan that supports everyone involved.
We work with all family structures — traditional, blended, single-parent, multigenerational, and more. Every family deserves support.
As a full-service practice, we can connect family members to individual therapy, child and youth therapy, couples counseling, and more — all within TGC so your care stays coordinated.
As a nonprofit, we offer sliding scale fees and accept insurance. We’ll do everything we can to make sure cost is never a barrier to getting the support your family needs.
We offer sessions at multiple Illinois locations, in Florida, and via telehealth — so your family can access support in the way that works best for your schedule and situation.
Reaching out is the hardest part. Let us help you figure out the rest.
Some of our most frequently asked questions about family counseling.
Family counseling is a form of therapy that brings family members together to work through challenges, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. A family therapist creates a structured, safe space where everyone’s perspective is heard — and where the focus is on building understanding and finding solutions that work for the whole family.
We encourage anyone who is part of the family unit and involved in the challenges being addressed to participate. That said, not every session needs to include every family member — your therapist will help determine the right structure based on your specific situation and goals.
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons families seek counseling. Whether you’re navigating the emotional impact of a separation, working on co-parenting communication, or helping your children process what’s happening, family counseling can provide structure, support, and a neutral space to work through it together.
Not necessarily. Session structure depends on your family’s needs and goals. Some sessions may involve the whole family, while others may focus on parents alone or on individual children. Your therapist will guide the process and adjust as needed.
It’s very common for one person to be reluctant — especially teens. Family counseling can still be valuable even if not every member participates right away. We’ll work with whoever is willing and find a structure that moves things forward regardless.
In many cases yes — and we’re well positioned to help with both. Family counseling addresses the dynamic between people, but individual therapy helps each person process their own emotions, history, and patterns. When both happen together the results are often much stronger. As a full-service practice we can connect any family member to the right individual, child, or couples therapist within TGC so your care stays coordinated.
