Wondering if you should stick with your couples therapist or find someone new? Maybe you have already seen a couple of therapists and none of them felt like the right fit.
I was inspired to talk about this topic by one of the couples in my practice who mentioned that they believe I am an angel sent from God to save their marriage. Granted, this doesn’t happen every day, so I asked them why. I ask all my couples what is helpful and unhelpful to them in the therapy process. When you ask, you get valuable information which… I couldn’t just keep to myself. So, I found the perfect opportunity to share it with our listeners.
I have seen clients who I am their 3rd, 4th and sometimes even 5th couples therapist. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot questions from our listeners which sound a bit similar: “Our therapist does not see my point of view, is it time to change our therapist?”, “What traits should I look for in a marriage therapist?”, or “Are all therapists qualified for couples therapy?”. This episode answers all of these and guides you through choosing the right couples therapist wisely and thoughtfully.
