Advance Counseling: Marshall Colt, Ph.D.

Specialties

Advance Counseling specializes in providing brief, solution-​focused counseling, so it advances more quickly than other therapies. I do not sit in the chair, nod and take notes and say, «I’ll see you next week.» You’ll be hearing as much from me (teaching tools and techniques) as I’ll be asking to hear from you. Again, we’ll be advancing as quickly as possible since I believe stringing out counseling more than necessary is unethical. I like to see clients come in, get what they need and go back to their real lives without being dependent on me or other counseling.

History

Established in 1994.

As an APA-​accredited adult neuropsychology intern, Dr. Colt also wanted to see marriage and family clients in a private practice. So he created Advance Counseling, which has gone on to serve clients in several therapeutic areas, as he received his PhD in clinical psychology, with a concentration in health psychology.
