Many couples wait until their relationship is on its last leg and at least one partner has one foot out the door. I get it, couples therapy or couples counseling can sound consequently damaging, but in reality, it can be a very healthy step towards a better relationship. It tends to be a last resort to work on their relationship and then couples wonder why couples therapy sometimes does not help.

So you had decided to begin therapy. That’s great! You have made a great first step in your mental health journey in your search for a therapist. Sometimes it can get overwhelming while looking for a therapist as you wonder what to look for and who is right for you. Something to consider is an intern as your therapist, also known as practicum students or student counselors.
