Marital Therapy My approach to marital counseling starts with the recognition that marriages fail because of a lack of knowledge of HOW TO BE MARRIED. Learning to have realistic expectations, patience, and to ENJOY watching each other change through the years are a few of the many tools that I teach couples during counseling. Family Therapy Family Counseling is required when the family unit is no longer productive. Signs of family problems can include: Constant arguing between parents and children without resolution Mood driven, impulsive and destructive actions by teenagers Lack of cooperation & positive regard for each other Household chaos Adult Therapy Chronic Pain Management Grief Counseling Psychological Disorders Depression Anxiety Bipolar Disorder Borderline Disorder Adjustment Disorders Life Changes Divorce Retirement Job Loss
