Family Therapy In New Jersey

Building Stronger Bonds Through Collaborative Support

Healing and Rebuilding Relationships Together

Family relationships can be a source of deep connection but they can also bring stress, conflict, and emotional strain. Whether you’re navigating communication issues, life transitions, or long-standing patterns of tension, family therapy can help you reconnect and move forward together. At JLE Psychological Services, Dr. Jessica Elliott offers compassionate and professional family therapy in New Jersey to support families as they work through their challenges and rediscover harmony at home.

What is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a type of counselling that involves two or more family members working together with a licensed therapist to address relationship issues, emotional conflicts, or communication breakdowns. Rather than focusing on one individual, family therapy looks at how each person contributes to and is affected by the overall family dynamic. Sessions provide a safe, structured space to explore feelings, set boundaries, and build healthier ways of relating to each other.

At JLE Psychological Services, Dr. Elliott works with families of all backgrounds and compositions — including parents and children, couples, siblings, blended families, and multi-generational households. Therapy may focus on a specific issue (such as a major life change or behavioral concern), or it may be more open-ended, offering support for ongoing growth and emotional connection.

What to Expect from Family Therapy

During your first session, Dr. Elliott will take time to understand your concerns, your family history, and your goals for therapy. From there, she will help you create a collaborative plan that may involve joint sessions with all members, one-on-one conversations, or structured communication exercises.

Therapy may address issues such as:

Parent-child conflicts

  • Sibling rivalry

  • Divorce or separation

  • Coping with grief or trauma

  • Behavioral concerns in children or teens

  • Adjusting to major life changes

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Mental health challenges affecting the family dynamic

Dr. Elliott draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches — including Family Systems Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to help your family feel more connected, supported, and empowered to create lasting change.
