About

Welcome Home Family Therapy Helps Stressed-Out Parents

Who knew parenting would be so difficult that you no longer recognize yourself or your family due to out-of-control conflicts? It can leave you feeling physically and emotionally depleted, defeated, isolated, and hopeless.

Welcome Home Family Therapy is the answer for stressed-out parents, especially those with complex and challenging kiddos. And meeting online can even help with in-the-moment problem-solving.

I’m Abby McCarrel, LCSW, DCSW and I offer nonjudgmental, respectful, and effective solutions that help your family now and over the long haul. I’ll guide you through movement-based, hands-on problem-solving that gets underneath the issues and calms your nervous system.

Ready to bring peace to your house and your family back together?

Then take my hand. I’m an expert in family therapy and I work with the whole family, including extended family and support systems. A healthy family identity will flow from developing closer family ties. As your confidence increases, challenging episodes will decrease.

Together we’ll work to calm the big emotions, improve communication, create connections and safety in relationships, and solve family problems. You can become the healer in your home.
