Dr. Marshall Colt
(an experienced marriage and family counselor licensed in
California, Colorado and Florida) offers expert marriage (and pre-marital) counseling and sex
therapy to help couples
in the San Diego/La Jolla area identify
what's going wrong and learn ways to make things better.

Often, couples get "off
track" as their marriage matures due to internal changes (infidelity
or emotional cheating,
parenting differences, medical problems), external events (birth of a child, miscarriage or other
child loss, financial and
career changes) or a combination of things. Understanding how these
events and changes
affect each partner and the marriage can be a major first step forward. Then,
learning tools and skills to better communicate and understand one another, along with
effective preventive measures, frequently results in a happier, healthier couple.

Dr. Colt's client's have had this to say:
"I have often reflected on how accurate your
advise [sic] and evaluation of our
relationship has been. You really made a difference in my life and I am
forever grateful to have worked with you." -- B.J.
"[Name] and I have
benefited greatly from our [marriage
counseling] sessions with you and are doing very well as a
result." -- B.S.
"Dr.
Colt...Last evenings session was incredibly enlightening and helpful in
understanding what most likely triggered my initial reaction and reason for
seemingly not being able to "let go" for such a long period of time. Having
identified that long buried incident, it is much easier to understand and be
able to move forward with the Intellectual/Emotional Integration that we
discussed. I think the most frustrating part of all of this sort of "stuff"
is the lack of understanding as to "why". You helped me identify the
"why". It wasn't fun then, nor even discussing it last night...but it
needed discussing. Unfortunately, [Name], my
incredibly patient, understanding and loyal wife of XX
years has borne the brunt of my frustration for the past six months. I've
got a lot of ground to make up with her. I
am hopeful that you will be able to help [Name] in
your session with her tomorrow. She needs, as she put it,
'the magic rubberband.'
Thanks again and thank you too for following up on the receipts."
-- B.G.
"Thanks, Marshall - {Name}
& I were both very pleased with your counseling on Monday evening, and
even had a good discussion about it (and our various marital M.O.'s) the
next morning. Definitely money well-spent, and we'll be calling soon to
schedule another appointment. In the mean time, we'll work on Data
Gathering, a tremendously enlightening concept. Thank you!"
-- A.E.
"Hi
Marshall, I thought I'd
give you a little feedback on how last night went: we both have total
trust in you and it was obvious to both of us that you are quite
exceptional in your ability and confidence.
By now I’m sure you hear that so often that it’s becoming
redundant. I’m here at my computer working away, happier than I
can remember being in months. Oddly
enough, I can’t remember feeling this happy.
Life is good. We completely resolved the huge argument that
triggered our seeing you in the first place. So things are going
great for the first “morning after,” and we’ll see you in two weeks.
Enjoy!!!" -- M.C.
"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.
I
hope things are going better. "Yes they are! Thanks to
you. [Name] and I are very appreciative of all your skills in
helping us work on having a better marriage." -- C.G.
"Thank
you so much! We really are getting along better and we both
appreciate all the help and great advice that you've given us. We'll definitely be in touch if we need help down the road.
Also, if you don't mind, I have highly recommended you to some friends so they may be calling you!" -- B.K.
"Clearly, they (your clients, D.
& J.) think very highly of you and of all you have done with
them." -- Psychologist
"I hope
you are well and want to let you know that I appreciate the follow-up and
your professional and helpful manner with us. I didn't really know
what to expect and was encouraged by the experience. Thanks."
-- S.M.
"Dr.
Colt, Thank you so much for your time.... I especially
appreciate your referral regarding my medication management. I
have to thank you again for all of your advice, help, and time.
Things have been going exceptionally well for J. and I! We have
been implementing everything we had discussed, and I have to say that
things have just been amazing! Thanks again for reminding us of
why we fell in love in the first place. We are so grateful.
Sincerely, D. & J.M. PS. We look forward to
seeing you on the 7th...."
"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.
"...was impressed at
breadth and depth of experience." -- P.F.
"[Name] was adamant
about not wanting to come to counseling, but now he actually loves it!" --
D.R.
"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., K ansas
"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.
"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.
