The Best Marriage Counseling in 60184: Wayne, IL. Restore Your Relationship.

Dr. Marcelo uses a shor-term, solution focused approach to marital therapy. Couples examine the interactions, communication, and roles that are working and those that are not. As opposed to continuing the "blame game", individuals take responsibility for change.

We work with a variety of issues-Depression, Anger, Anxiety (group and individual formats), Bipolar disorder, Trauma, Child and Adolescent work (males and females), Sexual Abuse, Play Therapy, Family therapy, Cultural issues (adapting to the western culture), and LGBTQ.

Is your relationship harder than you think it should be? While relationships are not easy, even if only one of you is willing to seek help can cause positive change. I have met many people who are merely surviving, but you can THRIVE despite how relationships evolve.

Do you believe that counseling is for unhappy couples? Counseling gives each spouse basic tools and strategies to enrich their communication: show respect for their partner, as well as themselves; and grow in healthy ways. It can be a valuable addition to any marriage.
