We often hear from prospective clients “I don’t know if we actually need couples counseling…I mean we’re fine…it’s not like we are headed toward to divorce or anything.”
What if we shifted our perspective from “counseling is only for couples trying to save their relationship” to “couples counseling is also for those trying to enhance their relationship.”
According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, after receiving treatment:
- Almost 90% of clients report an improvement in their emotional health
- Over three-fourths report an improvement in the couple relationship
- Nearly two-thirds report an improvement in their overall physical health
