Giving Couples Counseling a Try
Common Problems and You?
Although couples are unique, few problems are new to couples counselors. Sexual issues, money problems, children and parenting issues, religion differences, in-law difficulties, and communication issues are common struggles. Infidelity and cheating, jealousy, balancing work and home, differences in goals and values, and concerns about compatibility all bring couples into counseling.
What if My Spouse Won't Go?
If your spouse or partner refuses to go to couples counseling, it does not mean that your relationship can't be helped. Couples counseling often starts with one person, with the more reluctant partner joining later. Even if your partner never joins you, it is still possible to make some significant improvements in your relationship.
Who Provides Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling is usually provided by licensed mental health professionals who have experience and training in working with couples. Marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, pastoral counselors, and professional counselors may all offer services.
How the EAP Can Help
The EAP can help you find mental health professionals who provide couples counseling in your community. Ask your provider or counselor if health insurance can cover the cost of counseling. Your HMO may also have other options for struggling couples.
Call Solutions EAP at 1-800-526-3485 for assistance for all of life's challenges. It's free, confidential and open to your family members.
