What is Marriage & Family Therapy?

People are often surprised to learn that marriage and family therapy is a distinct profession. By viewing the world through our interconnected relationships and systems, the field developed as natural evolution over the 20th century when the mental health field often just treated individuals. Recent research in the field of neuroscience is enhancing this work, with evidence supporting the idea that humans are naturally wired to be together.

Marriage & Family Therapy: A Unique Approach

Many of the problems that individuals are labeled or diagnosed with are really the result of troubled relationships, either in one’s biological family or current system. Marriage & family therapists work with couples and families to repair and rebuild their relationships, using evidence based theories and methods as guidance. This essential viewpoint of treating the system is the key to effecting long lasting and meaningful growth.
