Cuando me mudé a los Estados Unidos en el 2007, me di cuenta de lo difícil que es reinsertaste en una sociedad en la que uno no creció ni tampoco siente que pertenece. Es por eso que decidí prepararme profesionalmente para apoyar, respaldar y sobre todo brindar las herramientas necesarias a las personas que necesitan un soporte emocional y mental para adecuarse y salir adelante. La salud mental es fundamental para poder tomar las decisiones adecuadas dependiendo del contexto en el que la persona se encuentre.

Algunos de los cambios en la vida nos pueden causar sentir una inundación de emociones y dudar cada decisión; tu mente está estancada en un ciclo y tu cuerpo en un estado de alerta constante. A veces nos sentimos anclados a experiencias pasadas que continúan impactando nuestra vida diaria. Estás lleno de preocupaciones, dudas de ti mismo, y tus relaciones han comenzado a sufrir al punto que ya no disfrutas lo que solías disfrutar. Esas experiencias del pasado parecen ser imposibles de sobrellevar porque muchas cosas en el presente te hacen recordar de ello y cómo te hicieron sentir; simplemente, no te sientes como tú mismo.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
