Before deciding that your marriage is beyond repair or your partner is unreachable, let’s see what’s possible.
Clients reach out because they've reached a stuck and hopeless place with their partner. Sometimes there’s been a significant betrayal; other times, it's been a slow descent toward disconnection. With my guidance, couples come to understand the negative cycle between them. Rather than get caught in the same old fights about money or sex or parenting, we get beneath the surface topics to the core emotions driving the discord.

Jasmine is a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She aims to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She was inspired to go into the mental health field after witnessing her niece suffer from childhood trauma and ADHD. She always wanted to figure out how she could help her and others. She wants to provide a safe space for clients to talk, decompress, and heal. Growing up in an African American household, mental health was put at the bottom of the list for her, and she wants to change the stigma by making sure people of color prioritize their mental health.

Life can be both exhilarating and terrifying! The world clouds our minds and emotions and sometimes we just need a safe place to sort it all out and CONNECT. I enjoy working with clients to help them find balance, to feel known, seen, respected and cherished in their relationships. We all have past hurt and fears and expectations that trip us up!

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
