What is Marriage Counseling?
Marriage counseling is a form of couples therapy for couples who may be thinking about divorce or separation. The goal of couples counseling is to create a safe environment where both individuals can find positive ways to reconnect and repair their relationship. During this time, the marriage counselor will also help each person grow individually by focusing on self-improvement and self-awareness.
