The Clinic, housed in the Family Life Center, is located near the Utah State University campus, just below Old Main Hill. The Clinic's dual mission is to provide high quality, low cost marital and family therapy services to the public and to provide a training environment for Master's Degree students majoring in marriage and family therapy. The Center's facility allows for observation of sessions by clinical supervisors and videotaping sessions. Marriage and family therapy is a way of helping people resolve individual and relationship problems. Family therapy typically focuses on relationships and strengths rather than individual deficits.
People bring all sorts of problems to family therapy.
Family therapy helps strengthen relationships and resolve relationship problems for couples, families, or other non-related people. These include conflict, communication, general unhappiness, life transition problems, or specifically identified difficulties. You can consider family therapy as a resource for almost any difficulty. Family therapists are trained to work with people experiencing a variety of problems. They also are trained to refer people for specialized help when necessary and to work with other professionals in the client's behalf.
