Family Therapy in Oshawa
Supporting Families Through Life’s Transitions
Oshawa families are known for their resilience and strong community ties. But even close families experience periods of tension or disconnection, especially during stressful life transitions like new work schedules, caregiving, or relationship changes.
At Tiny Therapy Collective, our therapists provide a supportive space where families can slow down, communicate more openly, and learn new strategies to navigate challenges.
“Connection is not about being without conflict — it’s about learning to stay present while working through it.”
How Family Therapy Can Help
Families come to therapy for many reasons, including:
-
Difficulty communicating or feeling understood
-
Adjusting to blended family dynamics or separation
-
Managing anxiety, depression, or stress and burnout
-
Supporting a loved one through substance use recovery
-
Coping with caregiving stress or perinatal transitions
Family therapy helps identify patterns that cause tension, while promoting compassion and collaboration between members.
Evidence-Based Approaches We Use
Our therapists at Tiny Therapy Collective use:
-
Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) for emotional expression and understanding
-
CBT to challenge unhelpful communication patterns
