Marriage counseling is a proven and effective solution for resolving marital issues and promoting healthy relationships. According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, around 70-90% of couples experience significant improvement after participating in marriage counseling sessions. Having a healthy marital relationship is crucial for overall well-being and happiness. It provides a strong foundation for personal growth, emotional support, and fulfillment.

Prepare for a strong and fulfilling marriage by addressing potential challenges, exploring values and expectations, and building effective communication skills. Couples who attend premarital counseling are more likely to have a long and successful marriage.
Learn how to navigate major life changes together, such as job changes, relocation, becoming parents, or empty-nesting. Change can be stressful no matter how healthy your relationship is. Developing safety plans and a deep understanding of your partner can help during this transition.
Infidelity and loss of trust are one of the leading causes for divorce, but it is possible to find healing. A Pittsburgh marriage counselor can help you find healing, rediscover trust, and address the root causes of conflict in your marriage.
Conflict will happen in marriages; it’s inevitable and not a sign of dysfunction. It is important to learn how to healthily manage conflicts. Our Pittsburgh marriage counselors can teach you effective strategies for resolving conflicts, communicating needs, and finding healthy compromises.
Sometimes you could be doing everything right and still encounter conflicts. External factors, such as financial stress, family dynamics, or cultural differences, may negatively impact your marriage, but we can help you and your partner rise above them.
Intimacy is an important, but often overlooked aspect of marriage. Our compassionate marriage therapists in Pittsburgh can help you and your partner enhance intimacy, address sexual difficulties, and reconnect on a deeper level.

I highly recommend Lifebulb. This resource helps connect people to professional counselors which is so helpful especially in days like these. Its so incredibly important to have a good counselor to talk with. A good counselor will connect with you and talk you through lifes problems and situations as they arise. A good counselor will also help you process and understand things from a healthy perspective. Its so helpful to have a professional insight and not just biased personal opinions like what family and friends sometimes offer. Its so important to process our thoughts in a healthy way, talking things out and putting all the peices together so we can have a clear picture, a goal and more targeted communication which helps all our relationships. Wishing all reading this review you find someone you can connect with and learn from and grow into your best you.

There are several options to book an appointment for counseling in Pittsburgh. You can call our office and talk to a team member who will find a licensed therapist for you. We’ll look over your insurance information and go over a few simple policies before emailing you a confirmation of your session date and time. Or, you can review our list of expert therapists in Pittsburgh to find one you think would be the best fit for you and request a session time. We will reach out shortly to confirm your appointment details.
Taking the step to reach out to a therapist takes courage, and it can be disheartening to take that leap and then spend weeks or months on a waitlist. We keep our waitlists short, and many times we can connect you with a therapist without any waitlist at all. If you know what you’re looking for, browse our Pittsburgh therapists’ bios to find the right fit for you. Or, you can call our office and a team member will make sure you’re matched with the right therapist for you and your goals.

However, we understand that urgent, nonemergency matters happen.

If your treatment plan requires more frequent interactions, your therapist can provide you with outside resources.
We have a flexible cancellation policy. Call our office or reach out to your therapist at least 24 hours before your therapy session time to cancel or reschedule any appointment at no cost.
