  • 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.
5
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.
