This program is a well established, evidenced-based assessment for pre- marriage and married couples which fosters personal growth as issues are disclosed and hopefully resolved.
I have a passion for helping couples and families work through difficulties and help everyone realize their strengths in order to work better together. My specialty is couple's therapy. I have conducted various marriage seminars through the years to help couples better their communication skills and provide tools to help couples turn toward each other and work through difficulties instead of turning away. My hope is that each couple will rediscover the qualities, uniqueness, and values that first caused them to want to spend their lives together.

Sometimes going through the demands of life on our own is overwhelming and it has been shown support can help us overcome these challenges. That is where we come together, to work through those traumatic experiences collaboratively. Together, we will identify behavioral patterns of the past that have worked for you and those that are no longer serving you. Together, we will explore feelings that rise inside you and learn to identify the links they have to your thoughts and how you react and respond in situations. Together, we will work on building a more positive narrative that motivates you to make the changes you want to see.

Brene brown once said " We can't practice compassion with other people if we can't treat ourselves kindly". It can be so easy to put yourself last or forget about yourself all together. It's okay to prioritize yourself and your needs in order to care for others. I have worked with individuals, couples and families on all walks of life. As well as working with first responders and military veterans and their families.

People come for help with all kinds of troubles: heartbreak, life transitions, complicated relationships, family worries...Therapy is about having a professional with wisdom and compassion help you find your next right step. Choosing someone to trust with sensitive issues is difficult, but you will likely know very soon upon talking with someone if they are a good fit. You will want someone with a good deal of training and experience. You will need someone who you feel confident truly understands your concerns and who has the expertise to help you resolve them as quickly as possible.

My approach to treatment is centered on creating a safe and collaborative environment for those who are seeking help. I believe in the concept that there is a continuum of health, and while at one level a behavior, thought or feeling can feel healthy, at another level this same thought, feeling or behavior can be experienced as problematic. Part of our work together may be determining what is feeling problematic to you, and how we can use your strengths to shift your experiences so that they are more in line with the life you would like to be living.

Currently offering couples counseling sessions. Please inquire if interested. My name is Tanya Farrar Brooks and I am a licensed mental health counselor who began her own therapeutic journey while very much entrenched in an unhealthy relationship. When I began therapy, I could not have known the impact that it would have on my life. Through that process, I was able to find my strength, and my voice. Allow me to use that experience and the clinical training that accompanied it to help support you through life's challenges.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
