Do You Feel...

What brings people to counseling rarely arrives as one clear moment. More often it builds quietly: a feeling that lingers, a pattern that keeps repeating, a sense that something is off. If any of these sound familiar, reaching out to Foundations is a simple first step.

Persistent Estrangement

If a child is consistently avoiding or refusing contact with a parent, it could indicate deeper issues that need addressing through reunification therapy.

High Conflict Communication

Frequent arguments and intense conflicts between the parent and child suggest a breakdown in healthy communication, requiring therapeutic intervention.

Emotional Distress

Signs of anxiety, depression, or emotional turmoil in either the parent or the child point to unresolved issues that reunification therapy can help address.

Behavioral Changes

Noticeable changes in a child's behavior, such as aggression, withdrawal, or acting out, may indicate underlying relational problems needing professional help.

Parental Alienation

If one parent is influencing the child to reject the other parent, reunification therapy can help restore a balanced and healthy relationship.

Lack of Trust

A significant loss of trust between the parent and child can create barriers that reunification therapy aims to dismantle through guided interventions.

Communication Breakdown

Difficulty in expressing feelings, needs, and thoughts effectively between the parent and child signals the need for therapeutic support.

Avoidance of Family Gatherings

If a child consistently avoids family events or gatherings where the estranged parent is present, it indicates discomfort and unresolved issues.

School or Social Issues

Poor academic performance or social withdrawal can be symptoms of deeper family conflicts that reunification therapy can help resolve.

Answers to Common Questions

What is reunification therapy?

Reunification therapy is family counseling that helps a parent and child rebuild their relationship after divorce, a long absence or ongoing conflict has disrupted contact. The counselor works with the child and each parent at a pace the child can handle, starting with trust and communication and gradually increasing time together. The goal is a safer, steadier relationship, not forcing a child to feel a certain way.

Who can benefit from reunification therapy?

Families where a child has stopped seeing or speaking with a parent, or where contact has become tense, after divorce, a move, a long absence or high conflict between parents. It can also help when a parent returns after time away and the child is unsure how to reconnect. Parents, children and sometimes stepparents or grandparents may take part, depending on what the family needs.

How long does reunification therapy take?

The duration varies depending on the severity of the issues and the progress made. It can range from a few months to over a year, with regular sessions scheduled to monitor and support progress.

What are the costs associated with counseling or therapy sessions at Foundations?

At Foundations, each counseling or therapy session is $200. Your first consultation is always free, and you are able to meet with as many counselors as you need until you find the perfect match.

Does Foundations accept Insurance?

No. Foundations is private pay and does not bill insurance companies. If your plan has out of network benefits, we can give you documentation to submit for possible reimbursement, so check with your plan first. Paying privately keeps your counseling out of insurance records, avoids a required diagnosis, and lets you choose your counselor and how long your sessions last.

What if I need to reschedule my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

Yes. Foundations offers early morning, daytime, evening and Saturday appointments, and online sessions can add flexibility. Call 970.227.2770 or book online, tell us what times work for you, and we will match you with a counselor whose schedule fits.

What can I expect during a reunification therapy session?

Sessions typically involve individual and joint meetings with the parent and child, focusing on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and building a healthier relationship.

Is reunification therapy court-ordered?

In some cases, reunification therapy may be court-ordered, especially in custody disputes. However, it can also be voluntarily sought by families wanting to mend their relationships.

What qualifications do the therapists have?

Reunification work at Foundations is done by counselors who work with families and children. Training and experience vary by counselor, so ask during your free consultation how many reunification cases they have handled, how they involve each parent, and how they communicate with attorneys or the court if your case involves one. The Counselor Match Guarantee means you can meet another counselor if the fit is not right.

How does reunification therapy help with parental alienation?

When a child resists a parent, the reasons are usually mixed: loyalty conflicts, things the child has heard, conflict between the parents, and the child's own experiences. Reunification therapy looks at all of these without assuming who is at fault. The counselor helps the child feel safe enough to reconnect, coaches each parent on what helps and what hurts, and keeps the child's wellbeing at the center.

Can both parents be involved in the therapy process?

Yes, involving both parents can be beneficial. The therapist will assess the situation and determine the best approach to include both parents in the therapy process.

What if the child resists therapy?

It's common for children to be hesitant at first. Therapists are trained to handle resistance and will work gradually to build trust and engage the child in the process.

How do you handle confidentiality in reunification therapy?

Confidentiality works differently when several family members are involved, and especially when a court is. Your counselor will explain at the start what stays private, what is shared between family members, and what, if anything, may be reported to attorneys or the court. As in all counseling, there are legal limits, such as concerns that a child or someone else is being harmed. Ask about this during your free consultation.

What outcomes can we expect from reunification therapy?

Successful reunification therapy can lead to improved communication, stronger emotional bonds, reduced conflict, and a more supportive and harmonious family environment.
