An individual should first contact one of these independent Licenced Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) for a confidential phone consultation. Their problem-solving process begins with staff listening to the concern and then collaborating with the individual to address the specific need or concern.
If you seek peace and tranquility, you will certainly not find them so long as you have a cause for disturbance and turmoil within yourself.
