CONJOINT THERAPY & FAMILY REUNIFICATION THERAPY
Conjoint or Family Reunification Therapy
Family reunification or conjoint therapy is sometimes court-ordered to facilitate healthy interactions between a parent and child. This is particularly common when a parent seeks to increase visitation time with a child residing with a primary custodial parent.
In these sessions, the goal is to create a structured, supportive environment that prioritizes the child’s emotional wellbeing while helping families navigate complex relational dynamics.
