Therapeutic Family Reunions 

Many families, at different stages of their development, feel a need for a professionally guided meeting in a supportive environment.  In some situations, families have become estranged and require professional assistance to reconnect in a way that is meaningful and constructive.  Other families may have issues that have dominated their interactions over time and seem to invariably result in disappointment and hurt feelings.  Grieving together, dealing with age-old family issues or wanting to enrich relationships can be among the many reasons that families may request a Therapeutic Family Reunion.

A Therapeutic Family Reunion can be conducted in a variety of formats.  It can consist of one meeting for several hours, for a full day or weekend, depending on travel distances involved, or it can be a series of meetings over time scheduled at periodic intervals to meet the needs of the family and to accommodate to geographic limitations. The number of participants can range from two-person sibling or parent-child reunions or to an entire extended family. The meetings are generally held on our premises, but can be convened at other locations, as well.  If you need assistance with accommodations in the Princeton area, our staff can help organize that aspect of your Therapeutic Family Reunion plans.

If, at the time of the meeting, members of the family are engaged in individual, family or couples therapy, we seek contact with the relevant mental health professionals (with the participants’ legal consent) before and after the meeting.  If, as a result of the meeting, we recommend that individuals seek psychotherapy where they reside, we will make direct referrals or offer guidance about locating resources and choosing a therapist.
