Need Free/low Cost Marriage Counseling
I am looking for free to low cost marriage counseling for me and my husband. I think we both need some individual counseling as well, however we can't afford much. We are really going through alot right now and I think this might help to save our marriage. Please let me know if you have any one that offers something like this.
So What Happened?™
I called the PCEC that was suggested and they told me I needed to call my insurance and find out which of their counselors would be in network for our insurance. I called the insurance company and come to find out we have 100% coverage no deductible and only have to pay a $15 copay each time we go and we can go as many times as we want in a calander year. Thanks for everyone's input I am still going to check a few things out as well.

J. I would suggest that you contact LifeBuilder's Counseling Center in Mesquite/Sunnyvale, Texas. They turn no one way for financial difficulties. They have a sliding pay scale based on what you can afford. It is a Christian based counseling service that has been open to the public for about 6 to 7 years now - they have saved many marriages and you will love the atmosphere.

J., my husband and I have recently attended the most incredible "training" seminars to be created! It is called Discovery and will no doubt save your marriage and improve your quality of life. The first session is Discovery 1, this is when you work on yoruself and disposing of all your past and present baggage. The next month is Discovery 2, this helps you with tools to keep living free of hang ups. Discovery 3 is to help you establish a purpose. Through this training, it is guaranteed you and your husband will change for the better but Discovery also has a Relationship Training in April that is amazing! And only one of you has to have been to Discovery 1 for both of you to attend. My husband and I were not in marital trouble and it has still made things 100% better. My friends that were near divorce say they can't believe the difference it has made.
Now, about the money, the trainings do have costs and fees but there are scholarships available. So it may be possible for you and your husband to attend all of the trainings for little or no costs. Please see their website and at least call them with questions: http://discovery-training.com/
Good luck and I hope to see in the future a posts about healing!

My husband and I saw a counselor at PCEC (Pastoral Counseling & Education Center) on Lemmon Avenue near Oak Lawn. They have several counselors there and because they are a nonprofit they can charge their clients whatever they want. If you call and explain your situation I'm sure they could help you out.

The radio has been advertising a program for free counseling. I believe you can call 211 and they can provide you with the information.

Galaxy Counseling Center in Garland - they base your payment off of what your combined household income is. Good Luck! Please feel free to e-mail me. We have been there and they were very helpful. It is not in the best part of town but we felt the people were very knowledgable.
