Marriage counseling is an investment of money, time, and energy.
Marriage counseling is an investment of money, time, and energy that can give you and your spouse valuable lifelong benefits. Use the initial consultation appointment to ask your questions and get a sense of the therapist’s style, personality, and orientation. Ask about success stories and how long you and your spouse will most likely need to attend counseling. Ask if the therapist assigns homework or not. You should leave the appointment with an understanding of whether or not the therapist will always see you together or if you’ll sometimes be seen separately, the therapist’s general approach to marriage counseling, what to expect from therapy, what the goals are, and the projected number of sessions it will take.
