What questions should I ask before beginning marriage counseling?
It’s a good idea to interview potential therapists to further narrow down your options. After you’ve decided which therapists might suit you—either through an online search or by a recommendation—see if you can schedule a consultation. Prepare some questions for them and make your decision based on their responses.
You’re likely to have better results with a therapist whose outlook aligns with your own.
These questions will help you make that determination:
- How long have you been practicing marital counseling?
- What training/qualifications do you have that make therapy with you right for me?
- How long should I expect marriage counseling with you to last?
- What does progress look like to you?
- What does success look like to you?
- Do you consider divorce an option?
Make your decision with care, because it’s important that you stick with counseling once it starts. You’ll get the best results if you complete the counseling plan—couples who stay with therapy until it is complete have better outcomes all around. They enjoy better emotional health, live longer, and report themselves as happier than before they started therapy.
Seeking out a quality marriage therapist is the best first step in repairing your relationship. Their training and expertise put them in a unique position to take an objective look at your marriage and determine what tools at their disposal are best suited to help you.
If you and your spouse need guidance to help restore your marriage, now is the best time to take action. The sooner you act, the sooner quality marriage counseling can help you.
Do yourself and your spouse the best of favors and reach out to Empathi to begin the repair process today.
