Plantation sits at the geographic center of Broward County, a tree-lined city where corporate parks, established neighborhoods like Jacaranda Lakes and Plantation Acres, and family-oriented communities converge along wide boulevards. It is also a place where relationships face the same pressures found across South Florida: demanding careers, blended family dynamics, cultural transitions, and the quiet disconnection that builds when partners stop turning toward each other.
Marriage & Family Services has maintained an office on North Pine Island Road in Plantation specifically because so many Broward County families need accessible, insurance-friendly therapy without driving into downtown Fort Lauderdale. Our Suite 208 location at 1776 N Pine Island Road puts licensed therapists within 15 minutes of Sunrise, Davie, Lauderhill, and Weston, and within 25 minutes of Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Cooper City. If your relationship is under strain, help is closer than you think.
Our Plantation office draws clients from across Broward County. Whether you live in the gated communities of Weston, the established neighborhoods near Broward Mall, the Davie corridor along I-595, or anywhere in between, our central Pine Island Road location is designed for easy access.
Neighborhoods and cities we serve from this location:
Plantation (Jacaranda, Plantation Acres, Plantation Park, Hawks Landing)
Fort Lauderdale (west and central)
Davie and Cooper City
Sunrise and Lauderhill
Tamarac and Margate

When communication has broken down, when arguments repeat on a loop without resolution, or when one partner has mentally started planning a separate life, marriage counseling creates a structured space to address what is actually happening. Our Plantation therapists work with couples at every stage: newlyweds adjusting to shared life, parents whose relationship has taken a back seat to child-rearing, and long-term partners facing infidelity, financial disagreements, or emotional distance.
We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Your therapist will assess your specific dynamic and draw from Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), or other evidence-based frameworks depending on what your relationship needs.
Couples therapy at our Plantation office is not limited to married partners. We work with dating couples considering engagement, cohabiting partners navigating commitment questions, LGBTQ+ couples, and partners in any stage of relationship. If two people want to build something better together, couples therapy provides the tools.
Broward County families are diverse. Many Plantation households include multiple generations, blended family structures, or bicultural dynamics that create unique communication challenges. Our family therapists help parents and children (including adolescents) address conflict, behavioral concerns, boundary issues, and the fallout from major life transitions like divorce, relocation, or loss.
Children and teens process stress differently than adults. Our Plantation office offers play therapy for younger children and age-appropriate therapeutic approaches for adolescents dealing with anxiety, school-related stress, social difficulties, ADHD, behavioral challenges, or family disruptions. If your child’s school counselor or pediatrician has recommended therapy, we can help.
This is where Marriage & Family Services differs from most therapy practices in Broward County. TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is specifically effective for depression and anxiety that have not responded adequately to medication.
If you or your partner have tried antidepressants without sufficient relief, TMS may be the missing piece. Many of our clients combine TMS treatment with ongoing therapy for results that neither approach achieves alone.
With offices across Florida, we have the clinical depth of a large practice and the personal attention of a local one. Your therapist in Plantation is supported by a team that includes specialists across every area of mental health and relationship therapy.
We accept Aetna, Ambetter, Cigna, Florida Blue, Humana, Magellan, Medicare, Optum, Oscar, Simply Healthcare, Sunshine Health, TRICARE, United Healthcare, and additional plans. Our front desk verifies your benefits before your first session so there are no billing surprises.
Most Plantation therapy practices refer out for psychiatric services and advanced treatments. We offer TMS on-site, which means your therapist and your TMS provider coordinate care directly.
We are not new to this community. Our Plantation office has an established track record serving Broward County families, and our therapists understand the specific stressors that affect relationships in this area, from long commute times on I-595 and the Turnpike to the financial pressures of South Florida’s cost of living.
We accept the following insurance plans at our Plantation location:
Additional plans may be accepted. Call (561) 774-8225 or email admin@marriagefamilyservices.com to verify your specific coverage before scheduling.
If you are asking this question, that is usually a signal that something feels unresolvable on your own. Specific signs include repeated arguments about the same issues, emotional withdrawal from one or both partners, loss of physical intimacy, or a general sense that you are living as roommates rather than partners. Marriage counseling is not a last resort. Couples who seek help earlier tend to see better outcomes than those who wait until one partner has already emotionally checked out.
Ideally, yes. Marriage counseling is most effective when both partners participate. However, if your spouse is reluctant, individual therapy can still help you develop communication strategies, set boundaries, and make informed decisions about the relationship. Many reluctant partners agree to attend after seeing positive changes in their spouse.
Most couples at our Plantation office see meaningful progress within 8 to 16 sessions. Some issues, like communication patterns, can improve in as few as 4 to 6 sessions. More complex situations involving infidelity, trauma, or addiction may require longer-term work. Your therapist will discuss a treatment plan after your initial assessment.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike medication, TMS does not enter your bloodstream and does not cause the systemic side effects (weight gain, fatigue, sexual dysfunction) that many antidepressants produce. Sessions last about 20 minutes, and most patients complete treatment over 4 to 6 weeks while continuing normal daily activities.
Yes. Our Plantation office includes therapists who specialize in child and adolescent therapy, including play therapy for younger children. We work with kids dealing with anxiety, ADHD, behavioral issues, family transitions, grief, and social difficulties. Parent involvement is typically part of the treatment process.
We accept Aetna, Ambetter, Cigna, Florida Blue, Humana, Magellan, Medicare, Optum, Oscar, Simply Healthcare, Sunshine Health, TRICARE, United Healthcare, and additional plans. Call us at (561) 774-8225 to verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
Absolutely. All sessions are confidential under Florida law and HIPAA regulations. Information is only shared with your written consent, except in rare situations involving imminent danger or mandated reporting requirements, which your therapist will explain during your first session.
