I recommend Dr. Paul Bowles; I dont' have his number handy but you can search Yahoo yellow pages and get it. His office is near Hillcrest & 635. My husband and I used him for premarital counseling a long time ago and he was very helpful. He used to be a minister, so I feel that he is family oriented, but he does not stress religion at all. I just feel he is more likely to try to help couples stay together than some who seem focused on maximizing "me." He is a behavioral counselor, and he will give you tools to communicate with. My husband, as well as two other good male friends, have found him easy to work with - he tends to reassure them that the things he teaches will actually help them in their career - emphasizing that he actually works with high-powered execs as well as married couples helping the execs communicate better with employees. We need to go see him again but hubby will not go. But I tell you that the communication skills he helped us with have lasted more than ten years. We have 2 sets of twins so I can relate to how your two children have probably caused a zillion new stresses that are weighing on you, and you barely have time to communicate at all, much less try to do it effectively. Take care and good luck.
