With Valentine's Day around the corner, the Oklahoma State University Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic is offering free relationship checkups throughout February to help couples in the Stillwater area strengthen their bonds.

The one-hour sessions provide an opportunity for couples to check in on their relationship's health and growth areas ahead of the romantic holiday.

"At the MFTC, we love celebrating love and relationships," said Gabe Yandell, a visiting instructor and clinical director. "Our free relationship check-ins are how we celebrate Valentine's Day."  

Participating couples can expect an easy sign-up and intake process for the session. After signing up, couples will take a short survey backed by a successful and respected premarital and marital enrichment curriculum. MFTC therapists then analyze the survey data to form ideas and advice tailored to each couple.

“All couples ranging from dating to married for 20+ years can benefit from this holiday experience,” Yandell said.

Beyond the checkups, the MFTC provides ongoing counseling for individuals, couples and families at reduced costs, serving as a high-quality mental health resource for the OSU community and residents of Stillwater and surrounding areas.

With expertise spanning from anxiety and depression to complex family dynamics, the clinic aims to provide low-cost, high-quality care to OSU and the surrounding community.

Couples interested in a free session can contact the clinic at 405-744-5058 or fill out a contact form here.
