Big emotions. Constant conflict. Silent shutdowns. When one member of the family is struggling, it affects everyone.
Whether it’s a child acting out, a teen withdrawing, or a parent feeling completely overwhelmed — our therapists know how to get to the root and support real, lasting change.
At Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic, our licensed psychotherapists in Newmarket, Ontario provide virtual family therapy to clients anywhere in the province, making it easier to get the help you need without the stress of travel or scheduling conflicts.
What We Address
When Home Stops Feeling Safe
You want peace in your home — but it feels like you’re walking on eggshells.
We work with parents and their children who are navigating the following:
- Emotional outbursts or shutdowns
- Parent-child disconnection
- Anxiety, mood shifts, or behavioral challenges
- Life transitions (divorce, grief, school stress)
Sometimes, the issue is obvious. Other times, it’s just a sense that something isn’t working. Either way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We help you create a family culture of emotional safety, clear boundaries, and connection that holds — even during hard seasons.
Our Approach
Whole-Family Healing Starts With One Shift
We focus on relational dynamics — how your family members experience each other, and how change in one person can shift the whole system.
Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, child and teen-specific strategies, and parenting support.
In plain terms: We help you understand what’s really going on, and how to respond in a way that actually works.
You’ll learn how to
- Set boundaries with love and clarity
- Navigate emotional outbursts without power struggles
- Reconnect with your child or teen in a way that builds long-term trust
What to Expect
Practical Tools for Everyday Parenting
This isn’t one-size-fits-all advice. Each session is personalized to your family’s needs — whether we’re meeting with you, your child, or the whole family.
We offer the following:
- Individual therapy for kids and teens (ages 10+)
- Parent coaching
- Family sessions that shift communication and connection
All sessions are virtual, confidential, and led by CRPO-regulated therapists trained in family systems.
Is Online Family Therapy as Effective?
Yes. And for many families, it’s even more accessible. Kids and teens often feel more comfortable opening up from home, and parents appreciate the flexibility. Our sessions are fully virtual — but the connection, clarity, and breakthroughs are very real.

At Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic, we are here to help you strengthen your family relationships with our therapy solutions. Below, we have answered some common questions we receive about our family therapy services.
Hidden
What is family therapy?
Family therapy focuses on improving communication, connection, and understanding with family members. Instead of placing blame on one person, therapy looks at how everyone’s patterns and interactions influence each other, helping create healthier dynamics over time.
What issues can family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help with a wide range of challenges, including parent-child conflict, emotional outbursts, teen withdrawal, anxiety, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions. Even if you simply want to strengthen familial bonds, therapy can help with this.
What age groups do you work with?
We can work with children over the age of 10, teens, parents, and entire families. We adjust the approach based on each stage of development.
Do all family members need to attend every session?
Not always. We tailor our sessions according to family needs. As a result, sessions may include the full family, just parents, or individual sessions with children or teens when appropriate.
