There are many reasons why couples avoid therapy. Fear of blame, misconceptions about therapy or stereotypes, generational beliefs “what happens at home should stay in our home”, or things aren’t that bad to “have to go” to therapy. Whatever the reasoning, most couples who make an effort to work on their marriage find it helpful and many will say they wish they hadn’t waited so long.

A great marriage is a work of art. Let us help you create your masterpiece!
