Divorce rates are at an all time high and concomitantly many of the people we see in our practice are presenting with concerns about marital discord.  In response to these concerns we have incorporated some of the beliefs and treatment plans made famous by Michelle Weiner-Davis.  We believe for instance that divorce is most often not the solution, that most marital problems are solvable and that unhappy marriages can be changed and are therefore worth changing.  Our preferred method of treatment is solution oriented brief therapy.  Brief therapy is short term; goals are usually accomplished in a limited number of sessions.  We focus on solutions to marital problems rather than exploring the problem and encourage our clients to focus on doing more of what works and less of what doesn't.
