Family Counseling

Family counseling is a type of treatment that includes one or more family members, where we seek to improve your family's mental health and functioning. It is used to improve communication within the family so that family members can learn how to resolve conflict in a healthy way.

During sessions, your counselor will typically ask questions to learn more about the issues that brought your family to counseling, and may point out factors that contribute to them, such as environmental stressors and mental health conditions. The goal is to bring your family closer together with new and improved ways to understand one another.

Family counseling is private pay at $150 per session, the same as marriage and couples counseling. Carolina Counseling does not bill insurance for it. If you are not using insurance, you also have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost before your appointment; see our Insurance & Fees page.
