Invest in Someone Who “Gets” You

You get sick so you call your primary care doctor. You need an eye exam and, yep, you guessed it, you call your optometrist. So who do you call when you need couples counseling? Most people call a general therapist.

A general therapist is a professional who has a license in mental health. And just like your general practitioner, or your primary care doctor, a general therapist generally has no specialty. They work with people with anxiety and depression, they offer parenting skills and/or they may work with children and adults. There is nothing wrong with a general therapist.

Suffice it to say, that most couples who decide they are in need of couples counseling want it yesterday and they want to sit down with someone who has a specialty in relationships. It is so important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with to get the most out of therapy so take some of the stress out of choosing a therapist and narrow it down to a specialist in what you’re looking for. Make the investment, both time wise and monetarily, with a relationship expert because YOUR relationship is worth it.
