Life can be very challenging, throwing so many unplanned curve balls at us that sometimes leaves us feeling defeated, unmotivated, and emotionally drained. But what if you could access the keys to happiness? To a healthier mind, body, a happier marriage, and deeper personal satisfaction. Would you grab those keys to unlock the world you have been dreaming about? Or would you say, “No thanks, I’m happy with my job, marriage, and how I feel daily?” But if you say, “No, I need those keys,” I applaud you for being courageous and vulnerable enough to change what isn’t working and learn what will.

If you are trying to figure things out as to why you are feeling the way you do, I may be able to help. People tend to know that there is something wrong or off but they just can't pin point to what is causing it or how to overcome it. Together through therapy sessions we can come to an understanding of root causes to feelings and thoughts. Let us work together and establish some goals that are realistic, short term and attainable. Asking for help at times may be difficult due to some stigma attached to it, I have experience working with clients who were reluctant to seek it.

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.
