Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy in Norcross
Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy Services in Norcross
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy for Couples and Families in Norcross, GA
Rebuilding Connection, Communication, and Trust
Marriage and family therapy focuses on the relationship itself, not just the individuals inside it. Instead of treating one person and hoping the relationship follows, this work addresses the patterns that keep repeating: the argument that always ends the same way, the distance that grew without anyone deciding it should, the roles everyone fell into and nobody chose.
At Georgia Behavioral Health in Norcross, GA, our licensed marriage and family therapist works with couples, parents, blended families, and individuals using evidence-based approaches including emotionally focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family systems work. Because our therapists and psychiatric providers practice together, families dealing with a mood disorder, anxiety, ADHD, or substance use get relationship care and medical care coordinated in one place. We proudly serve families in Norcross, Duluth, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and surrounding Gwinnett communities.
Why Choose Marriage and Family Therapy at Georgia Behavioral Health?

FAQs About Marriage and Family Therapy
What is the difference between marriage counseling and marriage and family therapy?
Marriage and family therapy is a licensed clinical specialty. A licensed marriage and family therapist completes graduate training in relationship and family systems, supervised clinical hours, and state licensure in Georgia. That training covers diagnosing and treating mental health conditions within the relationship, not only communication skills.
Does my partner have to come with me?
No. Many people start relationship work alone, either because their partner is not ready or because they want to sort out their own thinking first. Real change in a relationship can begin with one person.
How long does couples therapy take?
It depends on what you are working through. Some couples come in for a specific issue and finish in eight to twelve sessions. Others working through trust repair or long-standing patterns stay longer. We review progress openly rather than continuing indefinitely.
Do you see families with children?
Yes. Family sessions can include children and teens, with the structure adjusted for age. Some families do a combination of full-family sessions and separate sessions for the child or the parents.
What if we are trying to decide whether to stay together?
That is a valid reason to come in. Therapy is not automatically aimed at keeping a relationship together. The goal is to help you reach a clear decision with less damage, whichever direction it goes.
Is marriage and family therapy covered by insurance?
We are in network with commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage. Call 678-861-6463 and we will verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
