Why see a Marriage and Family Therapist? Why not a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker?
All licensed psychotherapists have been trained to provide psychotherapy. Marriage and Family Therapists are licensed by the State of California specifically to assess, treat and resolve interpersonal problems and relationship difficulties. While other licensed psychotherapists may provide relationship counseling, Marriage and Family Therapists have years of both specialized training and experience in addressing relationship issues.
