29 answers

I'd like a certain type of counselor to help myself and my marriage. I've been down this road before and wasn't thrilled with the counselors I found. I really need someone who is old enough to have had real life experiences, yet young enough that their memories of family life/marriage with young children are fresh. I live on the Grapevine/Southlake border. I appreciate any help.

i can totally relate - have been married for almost 13 years with 2 children, girl 11 and boy 3 - FINALLY after 3 separations and 3 different counselors that were not helpfull and 1 of them even harmful, we have found an absolutely amazing counselor - her name is tammy koolbeck, e-mail is ____@____.com, phone is ###-###-####, - she is in bedford but well worth the drive - call asap as she stays booked for a couple months out - she is that good - she has really helped us to learn how to communicate better and figure out why we do some of the things we do and why we interpret things the way we do - for the first time ever in our marriage, i can honestly say that we have a great marriage!!! not perfect because that does not exist :-) but definitely GREAT - and trust me, we had a very long way to go - and by the grace of god, it was restored!! i would absolutely recommend the book "the power of a praying wife" by stormie omartian - it will change your marriage forever!!!! i have not been very religious in the past and still wouldn't consider myself religious but am definitely a believer - this book and prayer has changed me and my thinking as much as my prayer has changed my husband - i no longer have to nag about anything - all i have to do is pray!! she also wrote a book called "the power of praying parent" that has made huge differences in my children - i have definitely learned there is POWER IN PRAYER - i will pray for you and your marriage and your family!!!!

Good Morning! I live in Irving area but attend Grapevine Fellowship Church, I actually found my counselor thru the church and she also happens to be covered thru my Aetna Insurance plan. You can go to her site. www.KarlaAustin.com, If she is not a "fit" for you maybe you can ask her to refer you to someone. Happy Hunting and God Bless!

Dear L. M,

Our family has had good experience with Cornerstone counseling. They are a group of christian based family counselors. Their office is next door to North Richland Hills Baptist. My husband and I, as well as our children, went there years ago. I think they are still in business.

I'm not sure if Irving is too far for you, but if not Todd Linder from Rapha is really good. He is in his 40's probably and still has kids . . . I believe middle school age. He is a Christian counselor though, not sure what your beliefs are. I really like him.

Dear L.,
I hear your frustration. I had more satisfaction from a training that my husband and I went to than any other counselor we have seen. It really saved our marriage bacause it saved our relationship. We finally heard each other and what our hearts needed instead of just what we were not good at. Please seek this out and do some research. It is called Relationship Rich and you can go to the website at www.relationshiprich.org or call Christie Lawrence at 888-293-7790(I just pulled that off their website) the facilitators of this training are well informed, have years and years of experience in marital counseling and DO NOT presume to know you better that you do. It is a unique training that can change the way you see each other for good.
Contact me if you like, I would love to talk with you. ____@____.com

When my husband and I went to counseling I decided to find a male counselor so that my husband wouldn't feel that I was ganging up on him with another woman on my side. I noticed most of the suggestions were females - so you may want to consider a male.

Dr Jonathan Cude was so great and getting us to open up to each other. He gets you and your spouse to communicate and to tell each other what is going on...not just telling the counselor all of your complaints.

Hi,
My name is J. and I usually ignore this Mamasourse because someone else signed me up and I don't have time for it. But when I saw your note, I felt I should respond. I am the mother of 11 children aged 25 down to 5. I think, maybe I could help, but I would rather talk on the phone or get together. What do you think?? If not I will try to do it over email, but it could take a lot of typing and my typing skills are pretty sad! ")

Hi L.,

You might try Mark Woods. He is a christian marriage counselor for 27 years and we heard him speak at a marriage retreat a few weeks ago in Plano. He is good! We have never seen him just the two of us, but he comes highly recommended. I don't have his contact info, but if you want it, I can get it from the lady who organized the retreat. God bless you and your family.

My husband and I go to Dr Linda Pitts. Her office is in Plano right by Ikea. I know this is far. It takes us 1/2 hour from Coppell where we live but it is worth it. I too have see many counselors in my time and she is the best. Most of the stuff I have told my husband already - work is more important than me and the kids, I am always left to disciple because of his schedule etc and she is able to tell him in such a way that he is really trying now.

Good Luck!
