Mary Beth Uhls - counseling for individuals, couples and families

My goal is to help you understand the current way you view your life, relationships, and identify a healthier balance.  I began counseling 20+ years ago as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor working with individuals to help them overcome physical and emotional challenges in the work place.  Helping clients achieve these goals shifted my journey towards Marriage and Family Therapy. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a difficult place, possibly feeling overwhelmed, experiencing an addiction, or struggles within our relationships.  I want to work with individuals towards creating a more authentic and spiritually wholesome life for themselves.

An excerpt from the AAMFT –

What is Marriage and Family Therapy?

A family’s patterns of behavior influences the individual and therefore may need to be a part of the treatment plan. In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn’t just the person – even if only a single person is interviewed – it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.

Marriage and family therapy is:

  • brief
  • solution-focused
  • specific, with attainable therapeutic goals
  • designed with the “end in mind.”

Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems including: depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual psychological problems, and child-parent problems.

Research indicates that marriage and family therapy is as effective, and in some cases more effective than standard and/or individual treatments for many mental health problems such as: adult schizophrenia, affective (mood) disorders, adult alcoholism and drug abuse, children’s conduct disorders, adolescent drug abuse, anorexia in young adult women, childhood autism, chronic physical illness in adults and children, and marital distress and conflict.
