Is Couples Counseling Effective?

Every relationship is different, but couples have found success through therapy. While it's possible for couples to fall back into old habits that cause strife or lead to divorce after finishing counseling, this doesn't mean you should throw in the towel before you start. On the contrary, the therapists at Dr. John G. Kuna and Associates include marriage counselors who can help navigate the complexities of your relationship.
