When
Choosing a Marriage Counselor / Couples Therapist |  |
Be certain
that your therapist is licensed by the state and has at least five years of post-graduate
experience. Choose a therapist who is or has been married. If you have
children, choose a therapist who is a parent. Education, experience and training
matter greatly, but they are inadequate if the therapist does not also understand
marriage and family life as a spouse and parent. Ask the therapist to
explain, before scheduling your first appointment, how he or she works with couples.
Their description should make sense. Choose a therapist with experience.
Clinical research has shown that years of experience is the single most powerful
predictor of a therapist’s effectiveness. The more years in practice, the better.
Gender and ethnicity may matter, but the therapist’s competence matters more.
You will know within the first session if there is a good “fit” and whether the
therapist will be of help to you. Don’t choose a therapist who is neutral
or indifferent about your relationship. Your therapist should be on the side of
your marriage or relationship and care about its welfare. |
