Every time we have moved, I have had to go through the process of finding new doctors, new music teachers, new babysitters, and new sports teams. Each one is a stressful and time-consuming process.
I don’t want to invest money and time into something I’m not going to be pleased with. The first thing I usually do is start asking for recommendations. I ask my neighbors and friends from church and look online for reviews. Eventually I find new doctors, music teachers, babysitters, and sports teams that I am pleased with, but it was certainly a process.
Finding a marriage therapist is often very different for people. Marriage therapy is not something to be ashamed of, but many couples choose to keep their marital distress private and not tell anyone else they are seeing a therapist. For that reason, many couples do not want to ask for recommendations or do not know who to ask for a recommendation. That often resorts to our most oft used resource for finding information – Google. But how are you to know if Google is really going to return a result that will be a good fit for you. This is the most important relationship in your life and you are about to hand it over to someone and hope they can help you. How do you find a good fit.
This quick little video offers a few tips of things to be aware of and look for in a therapist. I would also encourage you to read this post about How to Find a Marriage Therapy. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I would be happy to help you find someone close to you.
