You haven’t had recent contact with your child because you’re in the process of separating or divorcing. Maybe something difficult happened in your family or your relationship with your child in jeopardy.
Moxie Inc. helps families in these circumstances through Reunification Therapy.
We take a team approach. One therapist meets with the child(ren), and another therapist meets with the parents.
This approach allows the children to have a place to discuss their family situation with a person who is not also in the role of therapist for either parent. The children’s therapist focuses on the children’s needs and feelings without being “lobbied” by either parent. The therapist who works with the parents receives information about the children’s needs and concerns and uses this information to help the parents manage the difficulties the children are facing. Sometimes, this takes the form of coaching or advising. At other times, parents have feelings or issues of their own that affect the reunification process.
As part of Reunification Therapy, all family members are expected to attend regularly. That means problems can be addressed proactively before they escalate. And, because the entire family participates, children feel that they’re not left alone to tackle these difficult issues.
Reunification Therapy is a recognized form of family therapy, so insurance providers who cover family therapy will usually cover the costs of the reunification therapy sessions.
