Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT)
Marriage and Family Therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on the interactions, patterns, and relationships within couples, families, and households. Rather than treating an individual in isolation, MFT looks at how relationships, communication, and family dynamics influence emotional well-being, mental health, and life satisfaction.
MFT is evidence-based and often short-term, goal-focused, and solution-oriented, supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating challenges, strengthening connections, and improving overall family functioning.
