So where do you begin? 

How do you find a therapist that's a good fit?  

Just because a person refers to himself as a therapist/counselor does not necessarily mean he's properly trained. If you are experiencing marriage problems, you may want to look for a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). MFTs have specific training in relationship dynamics. You may also be looking for someone who has specific experience in working with couples, individuals, teens, and parenting.

 

You can ask questions that will help you decide if a particular therapist is a good fit for you:

 

• What type of license do you have? The most common types of licensure include: Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Psychiatrist (MD).

• Is your degree from an accredited university?

• What other credentials do you hold? 

• Do you have specific experience in working with couples in crisis? What type of problems have you worked with?
