QUESTION
When looking for professional help, is there a type of marriage counselor you should avoid? The answer is yes, one that quickly throws in the towel.  Consider the following story.  "My husband and I went to marriage counseling for a month. Four months prior to this I told him how unhappy I had become. I let him know that he was cold, distant, and hard to relate to, that he had an almost robotic, non-human way of relating to me. It was becoming unbearable. I loved him and did not want to leave him but was feeling extremely frustrated. We finally decided upon marriage counseling. The therapist we chose was close to our home and had hours that accommodated ours. Beyond that, I didn’t know anything about him or what to expect. Our fourth session came off the heels of coming back from a pleasant enough weekend together. We had not yet experienced any breakthroughs in our marriage, but things were no worse off either. You can imagine of how stunned I was when my husband began the session saying he wanted a divorce. Stunned as I was, I was even more shocked by what the therapist next stated. He said that if husband made up his mind to divorce there was nothing more for me to do but to accept it. The counselor was ready to end the session right then and there (I guess with the idea that my husband should immediately begin to file for divorce). I said, “No! I want to discuss this matter here and now with you present.” We stayed and continued talking all the while thinking to myself who is this guy and what kind of marriage counseling is this? Talking things out during the meeting didn’t alter the therapist’s mindset. Near the close of the session, he said to my husband, “Don’t go home together, book a hotel room for yourself.” Huh? My husband told the marriage counselor that he would, but thankfully after talking with him in the car, he came home with me. At my insistence we quit seeing this therapist. We are still struggling as a couple. There hurdles to overcome and we are still not meeting each other’s deeper needs. We have been advised to try another therapist. I am hesitant. It is hard enough to connect with my husband. I don’t want to be put in the position of having to fight two fronts at the same time." Please know that Dr. Newberger's work with couples is strictly about relationship rebuilding and reconciliation. This is a far harder task than simply saying, "divorce," but far better for the couple.

About South Riding VA


According to Niche.com, "South Riding is a suburb of Washington, D.C. with a population of 31,515. South Riding is in Loudoun County and is one of the best places to live in Virginia. Living in South Riding offers residents a sparse suburban feel and most residents own their homes. In South Riding there are a lot of parks. Many families live in South Riding and residents tend to have moderate political views. The public schools in South Riding are highly rated."

Said one resident, "South Riding offers a safe and communal environment. The schools are some of the best in the country. The neighborhoods are welcoming and offer housing for all price points. There are also a lot of good restaurants that offer a wide variety of cuisines. There are also public parks with playgrounds and basketball courts, so any-aged child could find an activity within their neighborhood.

Said another, "South Riding is a suburb in Northern Virginia, Loudoun County that is rapidly growing in many ways. Population is steadily increasing and so there is a lot of diversity and a big demand for housing. This also creates more jobs as the influx of population rises. Since it is very family friendly and for more established families, it is not for night-goers and all night party people. However, what it lacks in night life it makes up in public schools and safety. As a part of the richest county in the United States, its schools have loads of resources that are provided to students and teachers free of cost."

NeighborhoodScout's research reveals "that this single neighborhood has a higher concentration of married couples living here than 96.9% of all U.S. neighborhoods. Whether they have school-aged children or not, married couples are the rule in the South Riding neighborhood. If you are a married couple, you may find many people here with a similar lifestyle, and perhaps common interests. But if you are single, you might not find many other singles here."
