Marriage and Couples Mental Health in La Quinta
La Quinta and Riverside County have fewer reported domestic violence issues than other regions in California. Approximately 66% of the population is married, which is higher than the 58% national average.2 La Quinta�s divorce rate meets the state average and is lower than any other county. However, child custody issues and divorce related separation issues are one of the leading sources of nervous breakdowns, depression, and a generally lower quality of mental health in Riverside County.
A great number of adults deal with anxiety, stress, and depression while they are separating assets and money during their divorce. Child custody attorneys in La Quinta report a record high rate of conflicted divorces in the last decade. These issues have led to an increase in the demand for family counseling and therapy services in the county.
