You have already talked with someone about what troubles you? But was that person a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has post-Master's training in communication and relational challenges? Wouldn't it be a good idea to consult a specialist who listens without imposing his agenda? A place where your words are given the highest priority? We know that judgment and fault-finding do not help. Besides, you both know something has gone wrong. As you talk in a structured, nonjudgmental space, there are answers. Therapy helps you discover answers that were already there all along - you just couldn't see them.
I do not make the decisions. Instead, there are questions and observations. Each person is unique. Our goal is to discover who you are, what you believe, and what you want out of marriage. Discovery leads to new communication tools, deeper understanding, and healing of painful memories. I know about love and loss. My first wife died at age 36. Please email today.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
