Feeling Disconnected?

When a young man sets out to become his best self, he needs his family not just behind him, but beside him.

Conflict and communication issues within the family throw up barriers to a young man’s progress. Causeway requires both client and family to be all in on this journey, especially when you live together in one home. This is one of the most effective ways to ensure your son’s growth, development, and success in achieving his goals.

Why Participate in Family Therapy at Causeway?

Engaging Your Family

Your son’s well being is a family affair. Our Causeway Family Therapists want to know, understand, and engage the entire family. 

Our team will work with you to bring family conflicts to light. Left unaddressed, these challenges can generate resentment and confusion. Part of this is making sure that you as parents hear your son’s needs and wants. Our experienced therapists will guide you as a group in establishing ground rules, working through past issues, and providing the clarity that is needed to reach resolution.

As we move through this consistent, open-ended process of discovery together, you’ll improve the quality of family communication, build positive family dynamics, and reduce the grievances you have with one another.

The Causeway Difference

Your son’s well being is dependent on your involvement and feedback. We use your input to develop goals and modify your young man’s program, so it serves him more effectively. We can’t say it enough: at Causeway, we work for your son, and the well-being of your family.

The Causeway team is not a group of clinicians hiding behind a veil of confidentiality. We specialize in behavioral health for young adults. We’ll keep you as parents up to speed on what’s happening with your son—and so will your son, because we’ll all be together in one room. At Causeway, parents stay informed. At the same time, we cultivate your son’s ability to hold court—to find his voice. To communicate his needs to both you and the team.

Testimonials

“Causeway mentor helped my son build confidence, speak about things he would not speak with the family. They developed a relationship that gave my son confidence, and sense of security that someone was listening to his feelings.”

“After working with several therapists who struggled to meet our family dynamic of challenges, it was such a relief to start working with Vince & Nick. Their no nonsense, good cop, bad cop approach was perfectly suited to our family needs. They also are two of the most articulate men I have ever encountered (in general) which is a testimony to their true skillset as therapists. I also like that they come from personal experience, as troubled teens themselves.”

“Working with my mentor at Causeway Collaborative felt less like a service and more like a having a friend who was helping me get my life back on track.”

You've got Questions, We've Got Answers

Yes – parent coaching can begin independently, which is common when a young man isn’t yet ready.

Family therapy is an integral part of your son’s journey and progress. What this looks like will vary based on your needs as parents and your son’s needs. Typically, we ask that parents engage with one of our family therapists twice during the first 4 weeks of your son’s program to ensure we are all on the same page. At this point, you and your family therapist will determine if more sessions are needed and at what frequency.

Family therapy is a clinical service that uses a family systems approach to help you, as parents, better assist your son in achieving a variety of personal and family-centered goals. Frequency and who attends these sessions will be determined by the expertise of your family therapist.

Family therapy is a clinical, family-systems service; parent coaching gives parents practical, in-the-moment strategies for specific issues at home.

We coach parents on setting healthy boundaries and offering support that promotes accountability rather than dependence.
