Reunification Therapy
Reunification Therapy is designed to support families when the bond between a parent and child has been strained, interrupted, or damaged. Whether due to separation, conflict, or long periods without contact, our structured approach helps rebuild trust, emotional safety, and healthy connection at a pace that supports the child’s well-being.
In this program, families are guided through gradual reconnection steps in a safe, therapeutic environment. We focus on strengthening communication, addressing emotional barriers, and restoring secure parent-child attachment.
