When communication breaks down or emotions run high, even small issues can start to feel impossible to solve. Maybe everyone’s walking on eggshells. Maybe conversations always turn into arguments. Or maybe you’ve just grown apart and want to rebuild connection before it’s too late.
At Outside Therapy, we help families untangle what’s really happening beneath the surface — so you can move from blame and burnout to understanding and connection again.
Family therapy isn’t about deciding who’s right or wrong. It’s about rebuilding trust, communication, and emotional safety in your home.
You might benefit from family counseling if you’re experiencing:
Constant arguments or tension between parents and kids
Struggles with discipline, expectations, or respect
Sibling rivalry or blended family conflict
Divorce or co-parenting transitions
Emotional distance or silence where there used to be warmth
Grief, trauma, or loss affecting family dynamics
Behavioral or school-related challenges in children or teens
Families come in all shapes and sizes — our goal is to help yours function with more clarity, compassion, and balance.
We use evidence-based therapy models that improve how families relate and solve problems together.
Our framework includes:
Structural Family Therapy: Identifying and rebalancing patterns of interaction that cause strain.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Finding immediate, practical steps that create visible progress.
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT): Helping each member express needs and emotions safely.
ACT & DBT Techniques: Teaching emotional regulation, stress management, and communication skills.
We look at how your family system works — not just one person — to help you function as a stronger, more connected unit.
Family counseling sessions typically last 50–60 minutes and may include all members together or focus on specific relationships (like parent-child or co-parents).
In your sessions, we’ll work on:
Identifying unspoken expectations and communication barriers
Teaching tools for healthy conflict and active listening
Understanding each person’s emotional experience
Building empathy and accountability between family members
Sessions are available in person at our Cheyenne office or online statewide for families located anywhere in Wyoming.
Our job isn’t to take sides
It’s to help your family find a rhythm where everyone feels heard and supported.
When a family starts communicating differently, the energy in the home changes.
Arguments become opportunities for understanding. Silence turns into dialogue. Parents and children begin to trust each other again.
Families who complete therapy often report:
Less yelling and more problem-solving
Stronger emotional connection and mutual respect
Improved relationships between siblings
More peace and stability at home
Greater cooperation and shared goals
Therapy helps restore what stress, trauma, or distance once fractured. It’s not about perfection — it’s about reconnection.
At Outside Therapy, we recognize that each family has unique needs and histories. We adapt sessions to fit your structure, culture, and values — not a cookie-cutter model.
Our therapists are trauma-informed and trained in approaches that help families move forward faster, not stay stuck in the past.
We also collaborate with schools, courts, and local organizations when needed to ensure every part of the system supports healing.
