Familial and Peer Relationship Support
for Children, Teens, and Young Adults
Relationship Issues Therapy in Raleigh
At Jasper Psychotherapy & Co., we understand that familial and peer relationships are central to emotional well-being. However, conflicts and challenges in these relationships can create significant emotional distress and impact mental health. Whether it’s tension between parents and children, sibling rivalry, or difficulty making or maintaining friendships, unresolved relationship issues can affect self-esteem, mood, and overall quality of life.
Our relationship issues therapy services are designed to help individuals and families navigate conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. Whether you’re facing difficulties at home, in school, or with friends, we offer the tools and support necessary to build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
How Familial and Peer Relationship Issues Affect Children, Teens, and Young Adults
Relationship problems within the family or with peers can impact emotional, social, and academic development. Common signs that familial or peer relationship issues are affecting a child or teen include:
Family Tension: Ongoing conflicts between parents and children, or between siblings, leading to frustration, stress, or emotional withdrawal.
Social Withdrawal: Avoidance of family interactions, social isolation, or reluctance to engage in social activities with peers due to relationship difficulties.
Peer Struggles: Difficulty making friends, bullying, or social anxiety leading to exclusion or poor self-esteem.
Behavioral Problems: Increased defiance, irritability, or acting out, especially in response to family conflicts or peer rejection.
Emotional Distress: Anxiety, sadness, or depression related to interpersonal struggles and strained relationships at home or in social settings.
Low Self-Esteem: Negative self-image, often resulting from relational conflicts, feeling misunderstood, or not fitting in with others.
These issues can significantly affect a child or teen’s emotional health and social development. Therapy can provide a space to address these issues, enhance communication skills, and develop strategies to improve relationships.
Who We Help
We provide relationship issues therapy for:
Children
We help children develop the social and emotional skills needed to build positive relationships with peers and family members. For children struggling with sibling rivalry, or challenges in expressing emotions, we use age-appropriate strategies to improve communication, empathy, and cooperation—while supporting parents in reinforcing these skills at home.
Teens
We support teens experiencing relationship issues, including peer conflict, romantic breakups, or struggles with trust and self-esteem. Therapy provides a safe space to explore emotions, improve communication skills, and build healthy relationship patterns. We also work with families to promote understanding and strengthen connections at home.
Young Adults

It focuses on fostering emotional intelligence, setting healthy boundaries, and developing skills for effective communication and meaningful connections in both personal and professional relationships.
Parents
We support parents of children facing relationship issues by helping them develop emotional intelligence, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen communication skills. Through our guidance, parents can better support their children and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships within the family and beyond.
