Not necessarily Taylor ... careful with those generalizations smile

I googled "marriage friendly" MCs ... and solution oriented MCs and found lots of lists that were good for the USA ... give it a try.

My advice would be to call/email around and ask specific questions ...

- Are you trained in couples therapy (as opposed to practising couples therapy after having been trained in individual therapy)?
- Are you PRO marriage?
- Do you practise solution-oriented therapy?
- Are you familiar with MWD's style of MC? Gottman's?
- Anecdotally, what percentage of your clients stay together vs. divorce?

Now, keep in mind that not all therapists are going to answer those questions directly or with specific numbers but their answers should be very revealing to you. Hopefully the call/email will save you venturing into the office of one who would do more harm than good! I'm a big believer in "bad therapy is worse than no therapy".

Good luck,
Peace
