Report
I would not recommend for couples therapy. From day one, I felt like it was 2 against 1. I felt worse about our marriage after leaving a session with her than I did before the session. When my wife and I did our separate talks with her, everything my wife said became FACT and items I tried to bring up were ignored. For example, my wife can be dramatic and she will admit that's the case especially when she's upset. During her 1-on-1 session with Rita, she told Rita that I texted her 24/7. When I met with Rita, she immediately informed me that I needed to stop texting my wife throughout
