Loc: Illinois 		Can someone help me on Couples Counseling, apostrophe or no apostrophe. This is a common term used in our psych evaluations and this question came up in a QA meeting. Thank you!!

Loc: MS Gulf Coast 		The way I see this is that it is counseling for (multiple) couples, not counseling owned by people names the Couples, so no apostrophe.

Loc: Tavares, FL; Peachtree City, G... 		Tropsicle is correct. "Couples" is a simple adjective, not possessive.
