Dr. Marshall Colt (an experienced marriage and family counselor licensed in California, Colorado and Florida), in private practice since 1994, offers expert family counseling to help families in San Diego/La Jolla identify what's going wrong and learn ways to make things better.  Simply click San Diego family counseling services for your FREE phone consultation...no risk, no obligation.
Often, families get "off track" as their family matures due to internal changes (parenting and/or adolescent challenges, medical problems, birth of a child, miscarriage or other child loss), external events (financial and career changes) or a combination of things.  Understanding how these events and changes affect each partner and the family can be a major first step forward.  Then, learning family coping tools and skills to better communicate and understand one another, along with effective preventive measures, frequently results in a happier, healthier family.  Your family CAN improve.  Simply click San Diego family therapy for your FREE phone consultation...no risk, no obligation.

Dr. Colt's clients have had this to say:

"Dr. Colt, Thank you for your time and counsel yesterday, both [Name] and I got a lot out of it and are excited about using the [proprietary] technique.  I was hoping to schedule with you again some time soon to get your feed back on how [Name] and I interact.  Please let me know when you have your next opening. Best regards," -- W.F.

"Clearly, they (your clients, D. & J.) think very highly of you and of all you have done with them." -- Psychologist

"Of all the mediocre, and less than mediocre, therapists I've seen, and I'm not patronizing you, Marshall, you're the best therapist I've ever had." -- W.K.

"Thanks for your help last week. ...we are both sincerely grateful that you were there...and we are keeping you as "our guy" for counseling needs in the future." -- H.B.

"[Name] was adamant about not wanting to come to counseling, but now he actually loves it!" --  Anonymous

"We had a good conversation the other night after he spoke with you and at least I feel like we are talking again.  Thanks." -- K.D.

"I was impressed with your straightforward, fair, no nonsense approach.  I even told my friends, 'This guy is good.'" -- D.R.

"I think we both feel that things are going very well.  You have helped us address the problem issues, and come up with solutions.  We both feel like we have gained a lot of insight to each other." -- J.B.

"Dr. Colt:  Just wanted to thank you and let you know how much yesterday's session meant to both of us.  We both left feeling fairly good about things and really look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks.  I don't know why we waited so long to do this.  Yesterday was the first time we had really been together by ourselves for a long time and on the way home, [Name] opened up with me and talked about things and neither one of us got angry with the other." -- Z.T., Kansas

"Marshall, I thought you might be wondering what ever happened to [us]?  Just wanted to send a quick note to say thanks.  We made it through our pre-wedding (and post-wedding) issues and have just had a new little addition to our family!  [Daughter] born at 1:15 am on Thanksgiving day!  I wanted to send you a note because you were the one who helped us turn things around!  We are happier than ever, we hardly remember what our issues were.  Seems like a distant memory now....  Thanks again!  Sincerely," -- G.J.

"NO!  Thank you!  I feel [Name] and I are on the right track.  I am so grateful.  If we can hold the course then I think we can finally have the relationship that makes life worthwhile.  Thanks for your help.  Also thanks for your help with [Name] and [Name].  [Name] is a special soul and is raving about you.  I trust you implicitly" -- E.R.

"Hi Marshall: The other night you thanked me for being patient.  Well, I just wanted to thank you for everything you're doing.  [Name] seems to be doing much better.  She seems happier than I have known her to be in a very long time.  She seems hopeful and optimistic.  She really feels like she is making progress with you specifically and her life in general.  So "Thank You" with all my heart for helping my lady." -- B.E.

"Hey Marshall-  Things are going really well.  [Name] and I have both been working hard to improve our marriage dynamics.... We both feel that we have been moving in the same direction over the last 6 months and we have really been clicking over the last 4 months.  We realize that there will be some challenges along the way, but we feel better equipped to work through the challenges now." -- H.J.

"Thanks for asking. We are doing much better. We sold the old house, bought a new house, and moved back in together.... We bought new wedding rings and renewed our vows, and we took a trip to..., sort of as a second honeymoon. We still have our little problems, but over all we are fairly stable. We made an agreement before we moved back in together that if at any time either one of us felt that things weren’t working, that we would both go back to counseling before it got really bad again. It’s kind of a joke between us now – when we get annoyed we say “don’t make me have to call Marshall” : ) Thanks for all of your help during that difficult time." -- C.D.
