Anybody know of a good marriage counselor in the Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village area? Basically in the Chicago Northwest suburban area is fine with us. We are seeking a great marriage counselor who can guide us during a tough time in our marriage.
I am not familar with your area, but be careful when choosing a marriage counselor. A lot of otherwise qualified people claim to be marriage counselors, but in reality are divorce counselors. They pick sides and don't act to heal a marriage.
Good luck to you and yours.
The only counseling resource I know of is for the military. Militaryonesource.com is awesome, but if you are not military you might try your local church or your doctor or insurance might be able to refer you somewhere.
My hubby and I did counseling and it really helped us to get back in touch.
Try Joan Kellogg in Barrington ###-###-####
She is truly wonderful!
I am with 8kidsdad I would suggest very seriously taking the money you spend on a marriage counselor and go on a beautiful vacation.For one, I have a sister who counsels and I know she has little or no compassion for other people-it is money to her. AND Many years back I was in counseling, was not given much to work with to remain with my husband and I had signed an agreement to pay for treatment for apparently forever. My insurance ran out, I tried to quit and the counselor slammed his fists on the table, told me how depressed I was and that I needed more counseling. He also talked another woman in group therapy into taking out a home equity loan to continue treatment. $3,000 later out of my pocket I realized what a horrible person this was, marriage wasn't salvagable and when I quit, he put his wife out there for me to meet and he did not appear at the last meeting. Instead, he sent a bill and lawyers after me who insisted I pay or gosh knows what would have happened. It was so unethical. There's more to this, but that's the jist of it. I truly think in hindsight, that some of these people are only in it for the money. He for example had a beautiful huge home with a pool and later I found out he was in debt all over the place. I was depressed, I was sad, but he didn't help me. Be very careful.
Don't live in your area but good luck to you. That's a big step for some couples, to admit they need counseling and are willing to go. I hope for the best for you and your husband.
