How do you find a counselor?
Wasn't sure where to post, but then saw the funny LDS/fiance post and decided to stay and ask.
My DH and I are actually in a good place and have been together about 15 years (married 6). We recently talked about how we've fallen into a trap of both of us avoiding certain housework tasks and communication is lacking a little - you know those pesky kids and jobs help take up all that time we used to have to connect more. We both want to add to our communication tools and reconnect a little with a marriage counselor or someone but neither of us have ever been to counseling. I assume counselors do this type of maintenace stuff and not just larger issues, right?
Where do we start to find someone we would like to talk with and would give us good tools or advice on marriage maintenance? Do I just use my insurance website and pick someone based on location/availability? How did you and your DH find counselors and what did you look for in a counselor?
TIA
PS Might DD in a few days since I have friends on TN.
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
Re: How do you find a counselor?
Absolutely counseling can be used to gain tools to improve your marriage. That's exactly what it's there for.
Insurance won't usually cover marriage counseling- only counseling for mental health. Do you or your H have EAP through work? That's a great place to start.
