• Not all marriages last a lifetime. And there is
  also no such thing as perfect marriage. At some
  point in your married life, you will experience
  rough times. While many couples can get through
  these rough times, there are also some who can't
  survive and end up breaking their marital union.

Selecting the best counseling services Ottawa

• With the number of professionals offering
  counseling services in Ottawa today, finding the
  right one who can help you save your marriage is
  quite challenging. That is why we included in the
  article some practical tips to help you select
  the best couples counselor.

Choose a Licensed Couples Counselor

• Certainly, not all couples counselors in practice
  are licensed. To ensure that you are working with
  the best counselor in town, make it sure to pick
  one who has a specialized education, a few years
  of experience and training in helping couples.
  The counselor's license will prove that he or she
  has these qualifications. The license will also
  tell you that the therapist or counselor is
  qualified to address any circumstances associated
  with counseling married couples.

Choose a Couples Counselor with Proven Track
Record

• Sometimes, a license is not enough to prove how
  competent the therapist or counselor is. Before
  choosing a counselor, you have to do a little
  research first regarding his or her track record.
  You can read some reviews

online, or ask him or her directly what
percentage of his or her patients are couples and
what percentage end up in divorce. You can also
ask the counselor if he or she can provide you
with a short list of his or her past patients and
then randomly pick at least three from that list
and give them a call. If the response of the
patients are positive, and the percentage of
couples who end up getting a divorce is low, then
that counselor is a perfect pick.

Choose the Couples Counselor Who Focuses on
Scientifically Based Couples Therapy

• There are many styles and techniques of couples
  therapy but the most widely known and the most
  effective is the evidence based or scientifically
  based treatment protocols. You can ask the
  therapist if he or

she is familiar with this style and if he or she
has used it. If the counselor is not familiar
with it or does not use such a style, ask them
why and what he or she used in counseling. No
matter what style the therapist uses, he or she
should be able to defend his or her style in a
compelling, evidence-based argument.

Why should you consider Psychotherapy Ottawa?

• Although going through psychotherapy does not
  guarantee a hundred percent success rate, the
  possibility for you to save your marriage is much
  higher when you are working with professional
  marriage

counselors than when you are trying to resolve
the issues just among yourselves. Counselors can
not only help you save your marriage, they can
also help you grow and strengthen your marital
relationship. But this will only happen if you
are working with an exceptionally talented,
knowledgeable, and professional counselor.
