How often do we meet?

That depends on your family’s goals. Some families attend weekly, others bi-weekly or monthly. Together, you and your therapist will create a schedule that feels sustainable and effective.

Will the therapist take sides?

No. Family therapists remain neutral and work to ensure everyone feels heard. Their role is to guide the family toward mutual understanding and solutions.

Who can join a family therapy session?

Anyone you consider family—parents, children, siblings, partners, or chosen family members. Your therapist will help decide who should be part of each session.

Do we need a major crisis to start family therapy?

No. Many families begin simply to improve communication, strengthen bonds, or proactively support a loved one’s mental health. It’s just as helpful for growth as it is for conflict resolution.

What is family therapy?

It’s a type of counseling that includes two or more family members working with a licensed therapist. The focus is on relationships within the family system, helping each member understand and support one another better.

How do I join a group at Positive Reset Hazlet?

It starts with a consultation. We’ll talk through your goals and match you with a group that fits your needs. Sessions run throughout the week, with general and specialized groups available.

Do I need to be in individual therapy already?

Not necessarily. Some start with groups, while others combine both for greater support. Our Hazlet clinicians will help you decide what works best.

Yes. While therapists are bound by confidentiality, all participants agree to privacy guidelines—what’s said in the group stays in the group.

How does it differ from individual therapy?

Individual therapy provides one-on-one focus, while group therapy adds the power of peer connection. It offers new perspectives, feedback, and a sense of belonging that many find deeply healing.

Do I have to talk in every session?

No one is forced to share. Many people begin by simply listening, and open up more as they feel comfortable. Participation happens at your own pace.
