Why Choose a Marriage Counselor or Family Therapist

Certainly, your friends, family and religious community can be excellent sources of advice, guidance and support for you and your partner in your time of need. However, no one is better equipped than a trained professional, such as a marriage counselor or family therapist, to help you work through the toughest parts of your marital difficulties.

• Research repeatedly demonstrates the effectiveness of marriage and family therapy in treating the full range of mental and emotional disorders and health problems that may arise in times of marital difficulty.
• Studies show that clients are highly satisfied with services of marriage counselors and family therapists. Clients report marked improvement in work productivity, co-worker relationships, family relationships, partner relationships, emotional health, overall health, social life and community involvement.
• Marriage and Family Therapists regularly practice short-term therapy. About half of the treatment provided by MFTs is one-on-one with the other half divided between couple and family therapy, or a combination of treatments.
