Tips for Choosing a Counselor:
- Check credentials: Look for licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), psychologists (PhD/PsyD), or licensed clinical social workers (LICSW).
- Read reviews or ask for referrals.
- Consider specialties (e.g., premarital, infidelity, communication).
- Many clinics offer telehealth if in-person isn’t feasible.
If you have specific concerns (like infidelity, communication issues, etc.) or insurance preferences, feel free to mention them for more tailored recommendations!

It’s understandable to want trusted support for something so important. You might find the book Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue Johnson helpful—it offers insight into emotionally focused therapy, a respected approach in marriage counseling. Additionally, exploring directories like the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) can help you find certified therapists in Boston.
