Reach out if you are looking for a partner in helping you build a life worth living, build skills to support you in growing up, parenting, adulting, marriage, or just being a human.
Hi, I am Dr. Melanie McCabe. Call me Melanie or Mel. I am a real human, mom, wife, and a slow runner trying to get faster and a psychologist. I like to use a real, kind, yet direct and sometimes humorous approach with clients. I like to build partnerships with clients. Some want to fine tune their lives and some need to create lives worth living. I see children as young as 6, their parents, young adults and mature adults. My clients have often seen several other providers before meeting me. I do not accept insurance so I can dedicate clinical time to caring for patients.

My name is Zack, and as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am committed to holding hope for you and your partner when all else seems bleak.
I know you’re scared and exhausted. Most people don’t seek therapy until they are at the end of their rope. You and your partner are left in a constant loop of misunderstanding, isolation, and rejection. You don’t want to be alone and you don’t want to cause more pain. And yet you know your relationship cannot remain the same. But you and your partner have invested too many years into one another to become another statistic. I am happy to share, there is hope for change and healing even in the darkest situations.

I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works to alleviate distress troubling individuals and their relationships when needed.
As a therapist, I believe that you already possess the tools needed to live a life of fulfillment, balance, and desired outcomes. However, sometimes due to a variety of reasons, we can become disempowered, afraid, or confused on how to utilize those tools in their entirety. Being able to recognize that those negative feelings are present is a great first step to tackling any issues you may face. I encourage clients to reach inside and rediscover those mental and emotional tools while also aiding them in discovering new tools that can help to improve their relationship with themselves and others.

Adults with Aspergers (a/k/a Autism Spectrum Disorder) have extraordinary challenges coping with everyday life. This is a result of neurological differences in emotional wiring, communications, social interaction, sensory and executive functioning. Living life with these differences can result in depression and anxiety. It can also cause havoc within a marriage, educational pursuits, and careers. I offer a validating environment to better understand the "typical world," and develop coping skills to manage everyday life--as well as a creative space for couples to learn about their differences and work towards acceptance.

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.
