Family therapy at OCATT is a safe and supportive space focused on building healthy trust and connection. We support families experiencing grief and loss, foster-and-adoptive families, and families experiencing relational challenges. OCATT’s attachment approach builds connection through playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy in practical tools that you can use at home. As trust and connections grow, your family can move from difficulty to hope.
Family therapy can help you look at the interactions, roles, and patterns that shape everyday family life. It offers a chance to better understand each person’s experiences and how they contribute to the family environment. With greater awareness, families can find new ways to handle challenges, support one another, and make thoughtful changes that benefit everyone involved.
We offer practical parenting guidance to help you understand your child’s responses and feel confident supporting them at home.
Family therapy at OCATT supports families experiencing grief and loss, foster-and-adoptive families, and families experiencing relational challenges. Whether you’re navigating a specific crisis or want to rebuild your foundation, family therapy in Ottawa creates space for healing together.
OCATT works with your family to build patterns of trust and love. This can involve play, movement and sensory support, creative expression, and conversation in a calm and safe environment. By encouraging playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy in family relationships, loving attachments can be nurtured.
Family therapy at OCATT focuses on the family as a unit. Our approach centres the child or youth as the therapeutic focus, helping parents and caregivers shift how they connect and respond. Even small changes in those key relationships can create meaningful momentum for the whole family.
It depends on what brought you in and how ready your family is to change. Some families see meaningful shifts in weeks. Others benefit from longer support to rebuild deeper trust. We discuss realistic goals with you from the start.
