Relationship & Family

At RCC Austin we understand the importance of family. Relationships with members of your family are the foundation from which you form your earliest beliefs, ideas, and your outlook on the world.

In the best of situations, your family of origin - your parents, grandparents, siblings, and other extended family members -  offer a lifetime of comfort, safety, and grounding. No individual and no family is perfect, however, and your family may also be the source of emotional pain and disappointment for you.

Our family counseling services include working with family members in the following areas:

  • Productive communication

  • Boundary-setting

  • Parenting

  • Grief and loss

  • Providing care to sick family members

  • Life transitions

  • Other issues in the family dynamic

If you and one or more of your family members are looking for help to bring your family life back into balance again, give us a call. We're here to help. Our counselors' weekend and evening appointment availability will help you find a time that will work for everyone involved.

Call us now at 512-270-4883, or go to the Scheduling Page to complete the scheduling form and someone will contact you within 24 hours.
