Marriage and family therapy has been the focus of my training in my schooling and professional career. I use this approach (systems approach) to assist my individual, couple, and family clients. During my career I have had the opportunity to work at a hospital, school, and the court system, which all helped prepare me for private practice. I look forward to helping your family reach their goals in a holistic way.

I specialize in helping couples and individuals who are finding that their relationships are a big stressor in their life.
Your relationships have a huge impact on your life satisfaction and happiness. My use of EMDR therapy with individuals helps them gain a positive, helpful view of themself where there were once negative beliefs. In couples therapy, I help partners increase emotional connection and a sense of togetherness where there was disconnect, unenjoyment or hurt.

Hi, I am Macquenie Palmer-Beckford. If you’ve been feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep, constantly overthinking every little thing, or struggling just to get through the day, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been feeling on edge, shut down, or stuck in a fog that you can’t seem to shake. You keep showing up, holding it together for everyone else but inside, you’re running on empty. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I don’t even feel like myself anymore.” The things that used to make you happy don’t hit the same. You want to get back to feeling “normal,” but you don’t even know where to start.

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.
