The Marriage & Family Institute: Center for Integrative and Compassion Counseling Services is a counseling center located in Columbus, OH, dedicated to helping patients take the first step on a positive path towards growth, well-being, and empowerment. We can help you with whatever challenges you may be facing in your life, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other condition.

With extensive experience helping others develop the skills needed to cope with life's many challenges, we can serve as the go-to for all therapeutic needs. We offer assistance for individual spiritual therapy, anxiety therapy, depression therapy, child therapy, PTSD, and more. With years of experience, we have helped patients deal with a wide variety of issues:

• Trauma-EMDR Counseling
  Have you experienced a major trauma? Do you have flashbacks or find yourself stuck re-living a memory over and over? Have you tried therapy in the past but find yourself stuck, unable to move past a certain point? This treatment may be suitable for you!

• Couples Counseling
  Are you and your partner struggling to communicate? Have you been contemplating divorce? Are you constantly getting into fights or simply not talking at all? Do you feel like you're more "roommates" than romantic partners? Have you recently discovered your partner has had an affair? This treatment may be suitable for you! We use Gottman Relational Counseling, which is a comprehensive and effective approach to couples therapy that can help build stronger, healthier relationships. We also utilize Emotion-Focused Therapy, which is based on the belief that emotions are essential for healthy relationships and that couples who are able to communicate their emotions effectively are more likely to resolve conflict and build intimacy.

• Family Counseling
  Do you and your family struggle to connect? Are you having a major conflict in the house that you're unable to resolve? Struggling to communicate with your child, adolescent, or teen? Is your family blending and having a difficult time with the transition? Have you all suffered a major loss and are struggling to process it as a family? This treatment may be suitable for you! Sarah uses an integrative approach.

• Depression
  Have you found yourself feeling sad or irritable most of the day or every day? Are you having trouble getting out of bed or feeling unmotivated to complete your normal daily tasks? Are you struggling with suicidal thoughts? Have you lost interest in doing activities or spending time with others that would normally make you happy? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past and wishing things were how they used to be? This treatment may be suitable for you!

• Anxiety
  Are you struggling with feeling anxious most of the day/every day or find yourself having panic attacks? Are you constantly worried about the future? Do you find yourself unable to enjoy typical daily tasks/activities because you are too worried? Are you having difficulty sleeping? Do you find yourself more on edge or restless? This treatment may be suitable for you!

• Adolescent Therapy
  Does your teen seem to be experiencing challenges and is unwilling to talk to you about them? Do they seem less like themselves, either more withdrawn, angry, anxious, or sad than normal? Is your adolescent struggling with self-harm measures or engaging in other activities that could be harmful to their well-being? This treatment may be suitable for you!

By applying therapy approaches and techniques, we will uncover long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be preventing you from experiencing a more meaningful and enriching life. In a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment, clients can work through long-standing issues from the past, find peace in the present, and find solutions and empowerment for the future.
