Services Wallace Family Therapy Offers You
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual therapy helps you navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or relationship struggles. Working one-on-one with a therapist, you’ll explore personal obstacles and develop coping strategies to improve your overall well-being.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can be difficult, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Couples therapy provides a safe space to work through conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen communication. Whether you’re facing a crisis or simply want to deepen your connection, our therapists help you restore love and understanding in your relationship.
Family Therapy
Families evolve, and so do their challenges. If you’re struggling with communication, sibling conflict, parenting struggles, or major transitions, family therapy creates a space for open dialogue and healing. Our approach fosters empathy, respect, and stronger connections within your family unit.
Group Psychotherapy
Group therapy offers a supportive environment where individuals (adolescents and adults) can share experiences, gain insights, and develop healthier coping skills. Particularly effective for those dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image or trauma, group sessions provide a sense of belonging and a pathway to healing through shared understanding.
Depression
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. If you’re experiencing persistent sadness, loss of motivation, or changes in sleep and appetite, we can help. Our compassionate team provides evidence-based treatments to support your healing, restore hope, and improve your quality of life.
“Life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.” Oscar Wilde

Wallace Family Therapy, Old Lyme: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I Know if My Family Needs Therapy?
