When a family is under stress, it rarely shows up in just one person. For Destrehan families, this is a structured, supportive space to slow down and start making changes that hold up at home.
Our role is to help the whole family system move toward steadier connection, not to name who's at fault.
A small team by design. You'll never be passed around or treated like a case file.
We'll name hard truths when needed, and do it respectfully. Repair, not punishment.
Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.
A real person, not a call center, will respond to your inquiry.
When a family in Destrehan reaches out for therapy, those first sessions move slowly and with care. We listen to your story—what brought you here, what feels stuck, what you've already tried. There are no interrogations. Instead, we talk about respect, pacing, and how we'll work together. Only after those foundations are in place do we move into deeper conversations.
We learn the family story, what's been tried, what feels stuck, and identify any safety or trauma concerns that should shape the pace.
Basic agreements around respect and pacing: no yelling, no name-calling, room to take breaks when emotions run hot.
Communication skills, repair conversations, and boundary setting, informed by CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care.
Naming harmful patterns clearly, and the pain underneath them, paired with compassion and a real path forward.
Integrative Recovery Therapies serves families throughout Destrehan, LA and the surrounding area, including nearby communities like Hahnville, Boutte, and Luling. We offer family therapy both online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for households that need flexibility, and in-person sessions at our Metairie office so you can choose what works best for your family.
Not always. Many family therapy plans include sessions with the full family and occasional sessions with a smaller group, depending on goals and safety. We will recommend a structure that supports progress while keeping the process ethical and clinically appropriate.
Family therapy works best with participation, but change can still begin even if not everyone is ready. We can talk through options, including how to invite someone without pressure, and whether individual work might be a helpful first step.
No. Family therapy can be very effective for adults and their parents, siblings, partners, and other close relationships. Many of our clients are adult families navigating recovery, mental health concerns, or long-standing relational strain.
