Some people think couples therapy with our Great Falls, MD clinicians is for those who have had serious, long-term issues in their relationship, such as addiction or infidelity. Many couples think that it is just for those who are facing the end of the relationship and is a last-ditch effort to save the marriage before throwing in the towel.
