Couple & Family Therapy

Although divorce is common, it often holds negative associations. Husband and wife team Barry and Emily McCarthy view divorce and remarriage with optimism, showing it to be a courageous choice that should not be viewed as personal failure but rather as a positive step towards a better life. In "Getting it Right this Time," they zoom in on remarriage issues and identify the factors that led to the end of a marriage, using that information to help you learn from past mistakes and start over. Marriage is based on a respectful, trusting relationship, and the McCarthys affirm that remarriage is an important choice that can lead to a rich, rewarding, and loving second chance. "Getting it Right this Time" provides resources needed to assess and change attitudes, behaviour, and feelings to help you build a new marriage and step-family that will bring out the best in you as individuals and as a couple.
