When should one seek help from a marriage or couples counselor?

1. You are experiencing conflict in your relationship. This could include anything from disagreements about finances to arguments about parenting.

2. You are feeling disconnected from your partner. You may feel like you are growing apart or that you don’t know each other anymore.

3. You are considering divorce or separation

4. If you are thinking about ending your relationship, it can be helpful to talk to a counselor first. They can help you explore your options and make the best decision for you and your family.

5. You have experienced a major life change, such as the death of a loved one, a job loss, or a diagnosis of a chronic illness. These changes can put a strain on even the strongest relationships. A counselor can help you and your partner cope with the change and come out stronger on the other side.

6. You are struggling with a mental health issue, such as depression, anxiety, or addiction. These issues can have a negative impact on your relationship. A counselor can help you and your partner learn how to communicate better and support each other through difficult times.

If you are thinking about seeking help from a marriage or couples counselor, there are a few things you can do to prepare. First, talk to your partner about your concerns. If they are willing to participate, you can start looking for a counselor together. Second, do some research on counselors in your area. Read reviews and compare their credentials.
