Hello, I'm Margaret Thompson, founder of The Salt Lake Marital and Family Therapy Clinic. I help individuals and couples resolve interpersonal conflicts and troubling relationship problems. The experience, skills and leading-edge techniques I use have helped my clients for over 35 years.
I became a love and relationship expert after seeing so many of my clients struggle in their relationships simply because they didn't have a roadmap. They had no idea how to repair their problems ... and no confidence that repair could ever happen.
I have made it my life's purpose to show couples how to recapture the love and passion they once shared and build the relationship of their dreams.
I provide sensitive, straight-forward feedback where we work together to identify specific goals based on your unique relationship.
Individuals
I help individuals who struggle with self-doubt, depressed mood, relationship problems, or simply an overall dissatisfaction with life.
Presenting problems may include:
- Fear of rejection, criticism or abandonment
- Difficulty cooncentrating
- Poor memory
- Procrastination
- Feeling stuck
- Worrying about things you cannot control
Couples
- High Conflict Relationships (Excessive fighting or arguing)
- Marital Dissatisfaction
- Infidelity- Sexual or Emotional
- Sexual Incompatibility or Lack of Sexual Desire
- Comprehensive Assessments- A 4 session assessment process
- Training, Supervision, Consultation
Teaching and Training
I provide clinical supervision and training for therapists and currently teach a couples therapy course for therapists across the United States and Canada. I've presented papers on relationships both nationally and abroad, taught graduate-level courses, and have published my clinical work.
