Couples & Family Institute
Couples & Family Institute (CFI)
We believe the family unit and strong couple relationships represent the foundation and core of society. Our mission is to partner with couples and families in an effort to help, support, guide, and heal as they journey through life’s challenging circumstances and events.
We created the Couples & Family Institute of MPB Group, Inc. to provide comprehensive programs that address issues germane to couples and families.
The journey towards healing relationships may need guidance, the CFI team is ready and able to help you navigate the struggle through the maze, road, or circle you may find yourself in.

CFI Think Tank
Much like the cafes in Paris circa 1870 or Vienna early 1900s, CFI Think Tank is a gathering of Marriage & Family Therapists and other Systemic Thinkers who share experiences, collaborate on cases, connect with others and advance knowledge in a passionate and lively way. While our spirited sharings unfold, we enjoy food, spirits and beverages that round out our monthly meetings.
