Hello, I'm Dr. Gunzburg. After discussing the good news and bad news about how to find a marriage counselor, I hope it is apparent that using a licensed therapist has its advantages. You are protected because you could lodge a complaint with the licensing board or professional association, if there were any problems.
I am a psychologist practicing in Baltimore, Maryland. I have been continually licensed since 1975 by the Maryland Board of Examiners for Psychologists.
In over 35 years of practice, there has never been a complaint against me.
You can call the Psychology Board and verify that information. I am also a member in good standing of the American Psychological Association-you could
call them and ask about me, too. The Maryland Psychology Board requires a doctorate degree and two years of experience before you can be licensed.
In Maryland, psychologists must take continuing education throughout their careers in order to remain licensed.
Psychologists are trained in normal and abnormal aspects of personality
A significant part of doctoral training is learning about personality and the development of personality, and factors that affect us in both good
ways and bad. Moreover, doctorate-level training includes the evaluation and treatment of personality, mental and behavioral problems and other psychological disorders.
This training, when combined with over 35 years of experience, gives me an immense internal database of problems and solutions.
Over these years I have seen what works and found things that, over time, didn't work.
If you present me with your relationship that was violated by marital infidelity, for example, there are many factors that can influence the
survivability of your marriage. Some of these factors will be obvious to you, and some not.
You benefit from my experience with all of the other individuals and couples I have worked with when I evaluate and work with your
particular situation.
From what I can gather regarding other therapists with similar years of experience, we have
considerable overlap in what we tell clients with troubled relationships. Infidelity is a niche under troubled marriages and some of the usual treatment tacts and considerations need to be modified specifically for a marriage damaged by an affair.
You can reach me at 410-654-1300. My office is in Pikesville, Maryland right off 695, the Baltimore Beltway. Wishing you the best in your quest to improve your marriage and making it better than ever.
