Who is a marriage counselor?

A marriage counselor, also known as a marital therapist or couples therapist, is a mental health professional who specializes in helping couples improve their relationships and resolve conflicts. Marriage counselors or marital therapists are typically licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, or counselors, who have received specialized training in couples and family therapy. They work with couples to identify and address the root causes of relationship problems, improve communication and conflict resolution skills, and develop strategies to strengthen their relationship. Marriage counselors may also provide support and guidance during significant life transitions, such as having children or dealing with infidelity. Their primary goal is to help couples strengthen their bond, enhance their connection, and create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship.
