Affordable Help for Families, Couples and Individuals
At some point in their lives all people find themselves challenged and uncertain about how to proceed. At UW-Stout's Clinical Services Center (CSC), well-trained adult-student therapists completing their Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy have been assisting the general public since 1974 by helping individuals, couples, and families. All services are supervised by doctoral level faculty who are state licensed marriage and family therapists and members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (www.aamft.org). Access to service is swift and there is no time limit on how long they can be utilized. An initial meeting will help define the presenting concern and explore pathways to address it. Further meetings are scheduled accordingly. People are available year-round to help manage a wide range of difficulties. Individual, couple and family services are offered primarily on Mondays and Tuesdays, while school psychology occurs Wednesday thru Friday.

What is Marriage and Family Therapy? (MFT)
Conclusive research shows that most people under mental or emotional strain benefit from therapy. While everyone recognizes MFT as the treatment of choice for couple, child and family issues, it is also effective for a host of more "individual" issues. MFT is as effective as other therapy approaches, and in some cases is more effective-with mental health, some medical issues, and many child, spousal/partner and family problems. It is one of the most common approaches used today. Also called "systems" or "relational" therapy, MFT attends to the quality of interactions between individuals and their interpersonal (e.g.: couple/family), social (e.g.: school, work, legal, medical, religious, governmental, etc.) and personal (e.g.: cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physical) health. Improvements are more lasting and benefit everyone when they are rooted in safe, supportive and equitable relationships at home and in the community.
This is the heart of MFT!
