Marriage Counseling
Marriage Counseling addresses the complex issues arising in the relationship we value so highly. Marriage therapy allows each spouse to address issues and generates a more rapid change in the relationship.

Marital therapy evolved from the field of communication rather than the field of psychology. (By studying communication of couples experiencing difficulties as well as those experiencing happiness in the marital relationship, certain patterns were found to be consistent.) Marital therapy is fundamentally different from individual therapy and specialized techniques addressing communication and conflict resolution skills are often the focus.

Many couples would also benefit from 'marital enrichment', which strengthens and improves even strong marriages as well as preventing future difficulties.  Clients desiring marital counseling should ask for a therapist with training, licensure or experience in conjoint (both spouses) therapy.
