Matthew Brace
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I help individuals and couples find the pathway towards a fulfilling life. If your relationship is more stressful than supportive, know that you are not alone and there are solutions. When you and your partner are invested, it will bring you closer. I help people become closer by improving their communication to understand what each other needs.

The MFT Approach
Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT) are highly trained psychotherapists who understand that everyone is influenced by the relationships in their lives. Those relationships function certain ways for a reason, and MFTs are highly skilled at understanding relational and family dynamics. To obtain licensure, MFTs are required to work with couples and families while under direct supervision. Other disciplines of psychotherapy can obtain licensure solely by providing individual therapy, which could limit their experience in understanding relational and family dynamics.
Whether the problem is impacting an individual, relationship, or family unit, finding ways to involve your support system in the process will lead to more effective change. This may be done by involving others in therapy or working with a therapist who is mindful in guiding you on how to utilize your support system for growth.
The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy sites research showing that clients are highly satisfied working with MFTs, and that MFTs are the mental health professionals they would most likely recommend to others.
