Reunification &
Family Counseling
Reunification counseling, or reunification therapy, is a type of family therapy that aims to re-establish and strengthen relationships, between a child and a parent, after a period of separation or conflict. It's often used when a child has been estranged from a parent, for reasons like divorce, high conflict, or custody issues. The goal is to help the child and parent reconnect, rebuild trust, and develop a healthy attachment.
Often, reunification therapy is used when a child has been alienated from one parent by the other parent's actions or words, leading to the child's refusal or resistance to see or interact with that parent. It can be ordered by a court to help resolve disputes over custody or visitation, especially when a child is refusing to comply with a parenting plan. Reunification counseling can be used to help children adjust to the separation or divorce of their parents and to help them maintain healthy relationships with both parents.
