The therapist you choose may have the life or death of your relationship and family in their hands, so the professional you select is very important. Some couples tell us, "You are the fourth counselor we have been to. The last one let us argue for most of the session and just listened. We were worse off after we left, then before we went in." Marriage counseling is a specialized type of therapy. It requires different training and skills than individual therapy. In your search for the counselor who is right for you, ask the following questions: 1) What specific training and experience does the therapist have in couples and marriage counseling? 2) Is the therapist hopeful and oriented toward helping you: build connection, find solutions, work through differences, instead of focusing on the doubts you come in with? 3) How available and responsive is the counselor? 4) Do you and your partner feel a sense of connection with, and respect from, the therapist? 5) What are the therapist's values about marriage and relationships? Whoever you choose, if you feel you are not progressing, don't give up, try another therapist.
