I'd recommend not doing it, that seems harsh, but my ex-dh and I went to several counselors and they all seemed like quacks. But Good Luck to you. We wasted a lot of time and money. If you are both 100% comitted to making the marriage work, then try, but if one of you is on the fence or already knows they don't want to be there it is a waste. [ Reply | More

Then try it, I wouldn't recommend the few we went to because they really were quacks...for example my ex dh, would call the cops when we fought, although he was the violent one, I am in Law Enforcement so he knew it would get me in trouble (could have gotten me fired), instead of the therapist telling him not to do that, she'd say to me that I was completely capable of getting a different job if I got fired.

either look up aamft and compare their list to your insurance or contact ackerman or minuchin institutes for referrals. counseling can be helpful, but there are a lot of quacks out there-do a fair amt of homework before committing to someone [ Reply | More
