You may be worried about how you will be perceived by your friends, family and others around you if they know that you are in marriage counseling. Perhaps you are concerned about what this will do to the image they have of you, or that they will judge you for having problems. Please know that our sessions are completely confidential. Nothing is shared with anyone outside of the couple without your written consent. Also, your family counseling is no one else’s business but yours. You decide whom you wish to share this with, if anyone. If you do feel it important to share that you are in marriage counseling with some of the important people in your life, make sure that you and your spouse both agree to this before sharing. Those who have your best interest will be happy to know that you are getting the support you need and will not judge you for seeking help.
