Welcome to the Marriage Resource Center , MRC.
The MRC is a Professional Counseling Clinic in Downtown Scranton, PA which specializes in the treatment of Couples and Families in Conflict.
At the MRC we believe It's never too late to make a change. Divorce is simply a change in parters, however it rarely fixes the underlying issues which are simply brought to the next relationship.
You can learn to communicate better, to understand your partner, and to increase intimacy and marital satisfaction. Through couples therapy you can learn new skills that will facilitate a peaceful, validating environment for you, your partner and your family.



Our Philosophy:
The MRC utilizes the biopsychosocial model to diagnosis. It is our belief that a proper diagnosis is the key to determine the most effective treatment. The family operates as part of a system, in which each member influences one another. Therefore, the entire family must be acknowledged from the beginning intake throughout the entire course of treatment.
We believe in acceptance and non-judgment of all. The counselor's role is that of a neutral facilitator, not a "side taker." The most modern techniques and interventions are utilized including: Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Couples Integrative Model, and Behavioral Couples Therapy, all of which incorporate the idea that counseling should be:
- brief
- solution focused
- remain in the here and now
- skill building
