We welcome opportunties to share information about the Couples Center of Alaska also known as the 'CCAK'. We invite questions and comments so feel free to post and we look forward to connecting! The Couples Center of Alaska consists of a group of Li
censed Marriage and Family Therapists and other like-minded Alaskans. Through our experiences and connections with the mental health field we have often heard clients report frustration and discontent within their couple relationship as a primary stressor in their life. The marriage statistics of our current time are distressing; although the good news is that today we actually have research-backed
knowledge on how to strengthen marriages. In our community we have encountered a scarcity of well-trained service providers accessible to meet the needs of struggling couples. At The Couples Center of Alaska, we hold the belief that there is no greater influence to our happiness than the quality of our intimate relationships. Mission:
