Sibling relationships are often the longest-lasting bonds of our lives—stretching from childhood into adulthood. These connections carry shared history, deep familiarity, and the potential for lifelong support. Yet they can also be complicated by old rivalries, unresolved conflicts, or family dynamics that linger long after childhood.
As adults, siblings may face new challenges around caregiving, inheritance, or shifting family roles—while still carrying the emotional imprints of the past. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to heal old wounds, strengthen communication, and build healthier patterns of relating.
Common struggles siblings bring into therapy include:
Left unaddressed, these challenges can fuel resentment, distance, or ongoing stress. With affirming support, therapy can help siblings rebuild trust, improve communication, and transform their relationship into a source of connection and strength.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Sibling bonds carry both shared memories and complex dynamics. While they can be a source of love and lifelong support, they may also be marked by rivalry, conflict, or painful patterns that resurface in adulthood.
Our goal in therapy is to help you and your siblings understand one another more deeply, resolve long-standing issues, and create healthier, more supportive relationships.
Together, we work on healing old wounds, strengthening communication, and developing tools to navigate sibling dynamics with compassion, clarity, and respect.
Two of the most common questions siblings ask are:
In therapy, we offer a Sibling Relationship Health Assessment to help identify your current strengths and challenges across five domains:
This assessment creates a roadmap for growth, offering strategies to build more balanced and fulfilling sibling relationships.
Every sibling relationship is unique, so we customize therapy to your needs using:
Adult sibling therapy empowers you to move beyond old wounds, improve communication, and build stronger lifelong bonds with the people who have known you the longest.
I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney
