Counselors, also known as Marriage and Family Therapists, provide guidance,
therapy, and instruction to individuals and families for the purpose of
preparing couples for marriage; resolving, avoiding, or eliminating marital
conflicts; creating, improving, or restoring marital harmony; or assisting
in adjustment to divorce. Marriage counselors apply principles, methods, and therapeutic techniques to individuals, family groups, couples or organizations for the purpose of resolving emotional conflicts. In doing so, they modify perceptions and behavior, enhance communication and understanding among all family members, and help to prevent family and individual crisis. Individual marriage and family therapists also may engage in psychotherapy of a non-medical nature, with appropriate referrals to psychiatric resources, and in research and teaching in the overall field of human development and interpersonal relationships. Marriage Counselors may
specialize according to the counseling method used such as individual,
conjoint (couples), family, or group. They may also specialize in a
particular area of marital therapy such as premarital, marital, divorce,
post-divorce, or remarriage. Some Marriage Counselors may specialize in
working with particular age groups such as children, adolescents, adults, or
senior citizens. Related resource:
