When searching for a couples therapist, it’s crucial to find someone you both feel comfortable with and can connect with. The process can be overwhelming, especially without personal referrals. To identify the right fit, start by looking for therapists with experience and specialties in your area. Read reviews, testimonials, and their credentials to gather more information. If you find a potential therapist, schedule a free consultation to determine if they are the right fit for you both.
During the consultation, ask these helpful questions to gain a better understanding of the therapist’s approach and compatibility:
What are your specialties?
How comfortable are you with addressing our specific needs?
Can you describe your counseling process?
What is your counseling style like?
What can we expect from you as our Couples Therapist?
How much do you charge for sessions?
How long do sessions typically last?
Do you recommend a specific number of sessions?
Could you describe your ideal client?
Based on the therapist’s responses and your gut feeling about their personality and style, you can both make a more informed decision about whether to work with them.
If you have other questions you’d like to ask a couples therapist, feel free to include them during the consultation.
