Child and Family Therapy

Support for stronger, healthier family connections.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Maybe your family has been:

Dealing with constant tension, conflict, or communication breakdowns.
Struggling to support a child with emotional, social, academic or behavioral issues.
Facing stress from divorce, grief, illness, or big life transitions.
Feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, step-family dynamics, or blended family stress.

At MPA in Milwaukee, we offer child and family therapy that helps families heal, reconnect, and grow stronger by learning new ways to understand and support each other.

What happens in child and family therapy?

Every family has its own story, and every story deserves to be heard.

Child and family therapy begins by meeting together to explore the challenges your family is facing. Whether it’s one child struggling, or tension between parents and siblings, we help identify the real issues and guide you toward healthier ways to respond and relate.

Sometimes we meet with the whole family, sometimes just the parents or specific members. Together, we create a plan that makes sense for your unique situation.

With support, insight, and tools, your family can start moving past conflict and into a place of greater trust, connection, and stability.
