Helping families heal, rebuild trust, and grow stronger—together.

Addiction rarely affects just one person—it ripples through families, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional pain. Loved ones often struggle with how to help without enabling, how to set boundaries without pushing someone away, or how to process their own feelings of anger, fear, or guilt. At FirePit Health, we believe families deserve care, too.
Our virtual family counseling program provides a safe and structured space for loved ones to come together, guided by a licensed therapist who understands both addiction and family dynamics. Whether your family is navigating active recovery, coping with relapse, or working to repair strained relationships, counseling can help you reconnect and move forward—together.
Online family counseling is more than just a conversation—it’s a facilitated process designed to promote understanding, healing, and healthier communication. In these sessions, a licensed therapist creates a supportive environment where each voice can be heard, and families can learn new ways of relating to one another.
Family counseling often helps with:
The goal is never to assign blame. Instead, family counseling creates space for shared progress and collective healing. For many families, it works best when paired with individual therapy, giving each person the opportunity to process personal challenges while also working on group dynamics.
We’ve designed our process to be simple, flexible, and easy to access—because the last thing families need is more stress when seeking help.
We’ll ask for a little background about your family’s challenges, concerns, and goals so we can match you with the right therapist.
Your counselor will be someone trained in addiction recovery and family systems, often available within 24 hours.
Sessions are held virtually through secure video visits. Family members can join from the same location or separate ones, making it easier to participate regardless of where everyone lives. Sessions are always private and confidential.

Family counseling is designed for anyone impacted by addiction, whether you’re directly in recovery or supporting a loved one who is. It’s an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that may have been strained or broken during the course of addiction.
Counseling may be especially helpful for:
You don’t have to be in recovery yourself to attend. Many families find that counseling helps them process their own experiences and emotions, creating a healthier environment for everyone involved. For families supporting someone struggling with substances such as alcohol or opioids, our online alcohol addiction treatment and online opioid addiction treatment programs can also be integrated with family sessions to provide a more complete circle of care.
Recovery is not an individual journey—it’s relational. Families often need just as much support as the person in recovery, and learning how to navigate this process together can reduce tension, improve outcomes, and foster resilience.
Family counseling provides tools for healthier communication, prevents old patterns from resurfacing, and helps everyone involved understand what recovery actually looks like day to day. It creates a foundation where both the individual and the family can grow stronger together, making it less likely that relapse, resentment, or conflict will derail progress.
At FirePit Health, we understand that reaching out for family therapy can feel like a big step. That’s why our approach is designed to be compassionate, flexible, and supportive.
Not always—sessions are flexible. Your therapist may recommend working with certain family members individually, in pairs, or as a group depending on what’s most effective. The structure is tailored to your family’s needs, not forced into a rigid format.
That’s common, and it doesn’t mean counseling can’t help now. Recovery often brings new dynamics and challenges that previous therapy didn’t address. At FirePit Health, our therapists specialize in addiction-related family issues, which can provide fresh insight and tools that feel more relevant to your current situation.
Yes—family counseling often works best alongside other forms of therapy. Many patients find progress accelerates when they combine family work with individual therapy for personal growth, or with group therapy for peer support. We’ll help you create a treatment plan that brings these pieces together.
In many cases, yes—FirePit Health accepts Medicaid and most major insurance plans. Our team will verify your coverage before sessions begin, so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer clear and affordable options for families paying out of pocket.
That’s okay—progress can still happen even if only some members participate. Sometimes, working with one or two family members creates a ripple effect that gradually improves the overall family dynamic. Everyone is welcome when they’re ready, but healing can start with just a few.
Addiction impacts families in complicated and painful ways, but it also creates opportunities for healing and growth. With FirePit Health’s online family counseling, you’ll have a safe space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
