According to Dr. William Doherty, "Couples arrive in crisis and need a rapid response to stop the bleeding. If CPR isn't given rapidly, a marriage could be over in a flash...divorce is more like an amputation rather than cosmetic surgery." When primary care physicians know they can't cure the patient they refer them to a specialist. The San Diego Institute for Couples and Families is that specialist when it comes to relationships!

So what makes a good therapist? It is important to seek help with a therapist that specializes and has extensive training in treating couples. The San Diego Institute for Couples and Families recognizes that building strong relationships creates happier individuals and families leading to stronger communities. Our research-based therapeutic approaches are successful in assisting individuals and couples find a number of workable solutions. Each therapist is specifically trained, on an ongoing basis, in couples counseling as well as individual and family therapy. #WeKnowHowToHelpYou
