In-Home Family Counseling in the Greater Sacramento Area
Brick Road Counseling’s specialty is in-home Family Counseling—we love helping families regain hope that they can function better, find fulfillment, and be happier together.
“Family Therapy … [is] a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the improvement of interfamilial relationships and behavioral patterns of the family unit as a whole, as well as among individual members and groupings, or subsystems, within the family … See also conjoint therapy; couples therapy; family group psychotherapy; family systems theory.” American Psychological Association, Dictionary of Psychology (2021).
Family Counseling is a collaborative approach to therapy that helps families build stronger relationships and address challenges as a united team. Rather than focusing solely on individual issues, family counseling recognizes that problems rarely occur in isolation. The dynamics within a family affect everyone—because when one family member struggles, the whole family feels it.
At Brick Road Counseling, our licensed therapists work closely with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and foster a more harmonious home environment. Through structured sessions, we help each member of your family understand their role, improve emotional connections, and develop practical strategies for lasting change.
When children are the reason for seeking counseling—whether due to behavioral issues, emotional challenges, or trauma—the focus shifts to the family as a whole. The younger the child, the more essential it is to involve parents and caregivers in the treatment process to create meaningful, sustainable progress.
While traditional office-based talk therapies commonly last for years, our approach to Family Counseling is clear from the beginning—we want to get your family on their own road as soon as possible. Following a ramping on / steady state / ramping off structure, Family Counseling usually occurs weekly for the first three months, with each session focusing on identifying goals, building skills, and implementing plans. When younger children are involved, Family Counseling often includes the development of Behavior Plans, with the first four sessions focusing on child behavior data collection. Then, as your family function begins to shift positively, our sessions become less frequent, from weekly, to every-other-week, to monthly, to semi-annually, or as needed.
We love our client-families and want them to succeed quickly!
