- Pre-marital and pre-divorce counseling for couples and families – healthy relationships involve conflicts and disagreements, however there are ways to transition in/out of marriage using evidence-based tools that have been able to decrease behaviors that contribute to divorce
- Family Therapy – most families are not given a “how to” manual on raising kids and anticipating all possible changes and challenges that a family can encounter, sometimes we get “stuck” in our old, ineffective strategies and need an unbiased observer to redirect us on a better path
