A reader asks:
I am looking for a couples counselor. I don’t want to post that in my own status, but want to ask specifically, has anyone (still together) found a relationship therapist to be effective? I am a concrete evidence type of person. I am looking for someone who will give homework, even actual worksheets to complete. I am not feeling heard and I think that if my issues were written on paper, it might make it clearer for my partner. I am sorry that it’s tmi… I just don’t know how else to save us.
two options to investigate _ and EAP (Employee Assistance Program) program from work can make referrals, and also the Samaritan Counseling Center has always been recommended and thanked by some I know – http://samaritancounselingcenter.org/
Good Luck reader
I second Samaritan Counseling!! Best decision my husband and I ever made!!
Susan Spencer is a NPP in Albany and I have found her to be tremendously helpful. She actually gives feedback, medical evidence and helps you arrive at conclusions/decisions compared to what I have found therapists to do- just listen.
Great couples counselor- Larry Stallman, PhD, Bethlehem Counseling Associates.
