As a CRPA-P my main goal is to compassionately empower others to either embark on or re-engage into their recovery journey from addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. As a person in long term recovery from such disorders and also a family member of loved ones struggling with the same conditions, I am uniquely positioned to connect with people who are sometimes thought of as unreachable. I employ my years of experience on both ends of the spectrum to help people let go of old ideas and enthusiastically participate in their own lives.

Do you suffer from panic attacks? Have you started to avoid the places that you had a panic attack in the past because you don't want it to happen again? Or maybe you have missed trips because you're scared to fly? Have you been to the doctor, wore a heart rate monitor, but still check your pulse to get reassurance? Or given up coffee because you don't want to risk the possible anxiety? Maybe you try so hard to not let the panic take over, but the more you try the worse it gets? Could you imagine not feeling like you have to be on guard to stop a panic attack 24/7? And you could just go to dinner without plotting an escape plan?

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.
