Build stronger bonds as a family
Every family faces challenges. Maybe it is the same conversation that keeps ending in raised voices, or the silence at dinner. Maybe you are all under one roof and somehow still feel miles apart. None of that means anything is wrong with who you are as a family. It means something needs care and attention, and that is exactly what family therapy is for.
Family therapy in Vaughan, Woodbridge or Barrie gives you a space to work toward a more harmonious dynamic, in person or online. With the right tools, you can create deeper connections, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Your therapist helps everyone feel heard, untangles the patterns that keep tripping you up, and helps you find understanding and restore balance together.
Healthy family relationships are the foundation for emotional well-being. Therapy helps resolve tension, reduce misunderstandings, and create a renewed sense of unity, so home can feel like home again.
Family therapy is confidential talk therapy for two or more family members. Together you look at the dynamics and roles at play, build practical communication and conflict-resolution skills, and work to rebuild trust and connection. You set the goals, and sessions flex to include whoever needs to be there.

The family challenges we work through together
We offer compassionate, evidence-based, client-centred family therapy shaped around what your family is working through. Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome exactly as you are.
Family struggles rarely sit in just one place. We work with the whole picture, and we can coordinate with child and youth therapy or couples and marriage therapy when that would help.
One small shift that changes how a family talks
So much family conflict is not really about the dishes or the homework. It is about feeling unheard. Here is a simple way therapists help families turn a blaming moment into a connecting one. Pick a scene that sounds familiar.
“You never listen to me. You just want to control everything I do.”
Underneath the anger is a need to feel respected and trusted.
Therapy helps each person notice the feeling driving the words, so the conversation can be about that instead of the surface fight.
“When my plans get changed without asking me, I feel like you do not trust me. Can we figure out a way to decide some things together?”
“Now we are talking about trust, not just the fight. That is a conversation we can actually have.”
This is one of many tools your family would practise in sessions, with a therapist guiding the way.
What family therapy actually looks like
Walking into the first session can feel daunting, especially if not everyone is sure about it. Here is exactly what to expect, so nothing about it is a mystery.
A 20-minute conversation, no commitment
You talk with our team about what is going on and what you would like to be different. We answer your questions and match you with a therapist who fits your family. No pressure to decide on the spot.
Understanding the whole picture
Your therapist gets to know your family, the patterns and roles at play, and what each person hopes for. Everyone gets a chance to be heard. This is where the tension starts to make sense, and feel less stuck.
Building real skills together
You practise practical skills for communication and conflict resolution, and rebuild trust step by step. Some sessions include everyone, others just the people who need that time. It flexes to fit your family.
Checking in on progress
Every few sessions, you and your therapist step back together: what is working, what needs adjusting, and what your family wants to build next. You will always know where things stand.
Evidence-based, client-centred, and warm
Our therapists are not just clinicians. They are empathetic listeners and guides, deeply invested in helping families heal, communicate better, and grow closer. There is no single script, so your therapist tailors their approach to your family.
InnerSight was founded by Svetlana Antonyshyn, RP, on the belief that healing should focus on the person, not a label. More about our approach.

Fees and coverage →Family therapy in Vaughan: your questions, answered
Do I need a referral to start family therapy?
No referral is needed. You can book a free 20-minute consultation online at psychotherapyclinic.janeapp.com or call (905) 553-9507, and our team will help you find a first session time that works, with evening and Saturday options available.
Does the whole family have to come to every session?
No. Some sessions include the whole family, while others may involve just the parents, a parent and child, or one person at a time. Your therapist works with you to decide who attends each session based on what will help most. Family therapy is flexible by design.
What kinds of family issues do you help with?
Our therapists support families through parenting challenges, blended family adjustments, divorce or separation, sibling conflict, grief and loss, the strain of chronic illness, and tension around work, finances and major transitions. The goal is always clearer communication, less conflict, and stronger connection.
Can children and teens take part in family therapy?
Yes. Several of our therapists work with children and teens, and family sessions can be adapted to suit different ages. If your child would benefit from their own space too, we also offer dedicated child and youth therapy and can coordinate the two.
Is family therapy confidential?
Yes. Our therapists are Registered Psychotherapists regulated by the CRPO, and what is shared in sessions stays confidential within the standard legal limits, which your therapist explains clearly at the start. Sessions are private and can be online if you prefer.
How much does family therapy cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Couples and family sessions are $280 (85 minutes ongoing, 90 minutes for your first full session), and individual sessions are $180 for 55 minutes. Most private insurance plans cover a portion of services from a Registered Psychotherapist, and we provide receipts for claims. We offer direct billing with Sun Life, SSQ and Green Shield. Reduced-fee family sessions are available at $175 with select supervised therapists in training, and psychotherapy from a Registered Psychotherapist may also qualify for the medical expense tax credit in Canada.
Can we do family therapy online?
Yes. We offer secure video sessions anywhere in Ontario, plus in-person sessions in Woodbridge, Vaughan and Barrie. Online sessions can make it easier for busy families to attend together, and evening and Saturday appointments are available.
