Questions That Get Asked 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 mere fact or truth that marriage is definitely something so intimate and private. But because it is so intimate there are many reasons to seek marriage counseling when you need help. Well, in this article we are going to examine some of the common questions and issues which most people have concerning marriage counseling.

First of all, if you do go and get help, who does the marriage counseling? The people who do the counseling are people who have been licensed as Marriage and Family Therapists. They are trained to diagnose and treat mental and emotional problems. As a marriage therapist I was required to participate in two years of clinical experience. All therapists will have this requirement so definitely you can truly 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. They could actually go as high as a doctoral program with it.

So the training and qualifications are usually very high although they are actually not a psychiatrist. 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 certainly an understandable concern but however, cost shouldn't be an issue when you think about how important a resolution is. But generally most sessions will cost about $100. That is generally what one session in my marriage counseling practice goes for.

So hopefully these answers will help you feel confident in seeking help. When your marriage is on the line you want to do whatever you can to save it. Seeking help from a qualified marriage counselor will be a step in the right direction you must take. - 29954
