The Frequently Asked Questions About Marriage Counseling

By John Bryan

Seeking help when your marriage is starting to have problems is definitely and seriously one of the hardest things to do. This is probably due to the fact that marriage is something so intimate and private. But there are many reasons to seek marriage counseling when you need help simply because it is so intimate. Well in this article we are going to look at some questions people have concerning marriage counseling.

First and foremost, who does the marriage counseling when you do go and get help? The people who do the counseling are people who have been licensed as Marriage and Family Therapists. They are well trained to skillfully diagnose and treat emotional and mental problems. As a marriage therapist I was required to participate in two years of clinical experience. All therapists will have this requirement so you can trust they have experience.

Another thing that comes to mind is whether or not these people are psychiatrists. Although they are not, they actually do go through an extensive post graduate training. With it, they could even go as high as a doctoral program.

So although not a psychiatrist the training and qualifications are usually very high. That is one thing I inform my clients of my family therapist practice. Proper training and professional schooling is absolutely required and done by all therapists.

Finally most people are concerned with the cost of a counseling session. This is an understandable concern but when you think about how important a resolution is, cost shouldn't be an issue. But most of the sessions will just cost about $100 generally. That is generally what one session in my marriage counseling practice goes for.

So these answers will hopefully help you to feel good and confident when seeking for help. When your marriage is on the line you want to do whatever you can to save it. Seeking help from a qualified and professional marriage counselor will definitely be a step in the right direction you must take. - 29955
