How To Find A Couple Counselor

Take the Time to Know More

Couples Counseling is a specialized practice. While many counselors accept couples as clients, they may have very little or no advanced training in working with couples.

Search For Someone Who:

  • Specializes in work with couples.

  • Dedicates all or a large part of their practice to work with couples.

  • Emphasizes relationships in their practice.

  • Has experience with couples and families, meaning they are trained to understand relationship dynamics.

  • Demonstrates an understanding of relationship issues on their website or other platform.

  • Posts their credentials, couple training, and experience on their website or other platform.

Things You Can Do:

  • Read a potential therapist’s website.

  • Consider or ask a therapist about experience.

  • Inquire about scheduling and technological conveniences.

  • Some therapists use online platforms that make scheduling, payment, and communication simple.

  • Call a potential therapist or three, and ask questions.

  • Understand that smaller practices may not have someone available 24/7 to answer a phone. While this may not be convenient for you, it can also mean that the rate you pay reflects this.

  • View therapy as an investment and weigh the cost versus benefit.
