Seeking Good Marriage Counselor in Troy/Sterling Heights Area

Pioneer Counseling in Clinton Twp. on Garfield Rd. bt. 19 mile and Hall rd. Her name is Sue Williams. I rave about her. My husband never believed in going to therapy just to strengthen our marriage after baby, now he'll preach to me what she says in therapy and notices when I'm not following. WOW!!! She really had an impact on my husband. All husbands are reluctant and she has made him into therapy. All I can say is that's remarkable, wouldn't you say? Ans she does have weekend appts. That's when we go. Good Luck ###-###-####

My husband and I were having major issues and we are using The Relationship Institute in Royal Oak on Woodward by 11Mile. The lady has cut the chase with my husband who was very reluctant to go in the first place...now, he wants to go!

Good Luck!

hi D. -
i don't know if anyone already suggested this - but you could try catholic social services. i don't believe you have to be catholic to go there. it's free & they have weekend/evening hours. there is one located on Adams at about Auburn Rd. in troy. (it may even be considered rochester hills or Auburn hills - not sure, we just moved here to troy.) anyhow, i hoped this helps. i wish you luck w/ your husband.

Try Perspecitves of Troy. On Big Beaver Rd.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling not good about things at home. If you have insurance look at the back of the card for the # for mental health services. They should have a list
of providers that you can call to make a appt. I asssume you want the sessions covered(paid), that's how you would get this done. If you want to pay out of pocket, write me I have a name, I'm sure others do to if u want to pay cash.

D.,
I don't have any good suggestions for counseling but wanted to just post a quick note to let you know you're not alone. My husband and I went through the EXACT same thing when our daughter was right around that same age. We work different schedules and I felt that he was just drinking too much. He wasn't directly treating me poorly but he was not chipping in on household duties, etc (even though we both work full time). I was on the verge of almost demanding counseling but he finally sat down with me and we talked through it. It's still constant work but we're doing much better (and his drinking has definitely subsided - it's now only an occasional couple drinks with friends from time to time). I think it's great that you're looking for a counselor (I still wish we would have done that - I think it would have been an easier road - but at least we're addressing the issue). Kudos for you for being proactive and making sure your daughter grows up in a supportive environment :)

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...it is a duck. If you THINK he drinks too much I am sure you are right. And he is treating you badly on top of it, you are in trouble...it will only get worse. GET HELP NOW! There is a program at Kensington Church in Troy called Celebrate Recovery. It meets every Monday night at 7 pm...even tomorrow night. YOU can go and find out how to deal with "it" and HIM. The meetings break down into groups of people with drinking or drug issues AND groups for the significant others. They also provide childcare during the meeting. It will change your life. Feel free to email me back about it.
