How Marriage Counseling Raleigh NC And Individual Counseling Can Strengthen Your Relationships (With Yourself AND Your Loved Ones)

See other posts about FAQ when considering marriage counseling NC, how to find a therapist in Wake Forest NC and Raleigh NC, and top 3 myths about marriage counseling Raleigh and couples therapy Raleigh.

I’ve had an amazing opportunity to attend a three day conference in Winston-Salem this past weekend organized by the North Carolina Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. We discussed relationships, marriage, marriage counseling Raleigh NC, cultural and racial differences and how they impact therapy, and many other things.

I also had the privilege to represent the Carolina Center for Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy there and discuss this amazing modality with many interested therapist colleagues. Many asked me why I have decided to get trained in this particular school of thought-Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or EFT, and not others. And my answer was simple: because this approach has 75% success rates and it works!

I’ve seen it during live consultations wit real couples during the training years, watching the tapes, and, of course, in my own office. This approach is not easy by any means, but it provides an amazing opportunity for relationship helming and it works lie magic when both partners are willing to work on their marriage. This brings me to this week’s topic which is how to choose a marriage counselor in Wake Forest, Raleigh, or really anywhere in the world. I broke it down to two parts, so let’s jump in:

Step 1: Explore marriage counselor’s website

We live in the high technology world today where having a website is like having a business card. Every good business should have a comprehensive website that allows potential clients to learn about the therapist to make sure they would be a good fit. So, make sure your potential therapist has a website (and if they do not have a website and only a listing on certain directories like Psychology Today, that would be a red flag for me) and make sure you read through the website.

What kind of modality are they using for marriage counseling?What is the success rate?

Is it EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), Gottman, PECT?

Do they have videos on their website? Watch these videos-at least several of them.

Do you like how they sound?

Do they make sense to you?

Do they sound like they know what they are talking about?

Step 2: Talk to the marriage counselor

There is no way around this-you need to call them and a have a real life interaction with them. You can ask them how they can help you, what kind of clinical trainings for marriage counseling they have, whether they have availability, and so on. This will provide you with the opportunity to get to know them on a more personal level and to see if they are a good fit.

Remember, the relationship between the client and the therapist is the best predictor for successful outcome, which means that you have to like your therapist!
