FAQ’S ABOUT COUPLES COUNSELING
Is it worth going to counseling if my spouse won’t go?
Individual counseling can effectively focus on issues you are having in your relationship. Your individual therapy sessions can help you with stress management, anger and depression caused by a strained marriage. It may even encourage your partner to attend therapy.
What is the role of a marriage counselor?
As your marriage and family counselor I will not just act as a sounding board for your arguments or choose one side. I will be an active participant in providing direction for the sessions, offer clarification, confrontation, and boundaries. Together we will find the path to making positive changes in your life.
How long will relationship counseling take?
All couples are unique. And each relationship has its own set of challenges to overcome. Some couples frustrations are simply resolved with a few sessions of open, honest communication. Others have more complicated problems that need more in depth marriage counseling over a longer time span. I also have clients that continue to seek couples counseling periodically after their initial ‘problems’ are resolved as a tool to keep their bond strong and their relationship connected.
How much does therapy cost?

What is the first step towards a more happy and fulfilling relationship?
If you are looking for a couples counselor in the Houston area, the first step is to find a certified marital counselor that you trust and schedule an initial consultation. In the first counseling session you will introduce your selves and your concerns. Your marriage counselor will ask you questions to get an overall feel for your relationship problems, discuss your expectations, and assess an overall game plan for reaching those goals. If I don’t feel family therapy is right for you, I will refer you to a different resource or licensed professional.
