QUESTION
Do all marriage counselors have the same attitude when it comes to preserving a couple's marriage. Dr. Newberger says, "No." Picking up one wife's story, "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 end 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 he would, but thankfully after talking with him in the car, he came home with me.... 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."
One way that Dr. Newberger differs from non-directive marriage counseling in Sterling and elsewhere is that he, with rare exception, exclusively focuses on helping couples reconcile and rebuild their marriages. As the above story makes clear, you should ask about the orientation of a Sterling marriage counselor before you meet with them.
About Sterling VA
According to Niche.com, "Sterling is a suburb of Washington, D.C. with a population of 30,271. Sterling is in Loudoun County and is one of the best places to live in Virginia. Living in Sterling offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes. In Sterling there are a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Many families and young professionals live in Sterling and residents tend to lean liberal. The public schools in Sterling are above average."
On a more personal note, one resident of Sterling VA stated, "I remember thinking, when I was growing up, that I never wanted to live in a suburb. 'That’s a place for retirees,' I thought. I’m so glad I was wrong. When my family discovered Sterling, we couldn’t have been more happy. We work in Washington, D.C. and we didn’t want to raise our children there. While we love the city, it’s definitely a busy, hectic place and we found ourselves craving a bit of quiet after a long day of dealing with traffic and tourists. Sterling is the perfect solution. It’s about a 45 minute drive to D.C. but it doesn’t feel anything like the city. It’s a smaller suburb, but has plenty of good shopping centers and recreation options. The area is really clean and the restaurants are actually really nice! There are a number of parks which are fantastic to walk around and we’ve never really seen much crime. There are a few houses that should be upgraded, and a few areas that aren’t as “nice” as others, but that’s par for the course in any city."
Sterling VA is a great place to live, work, and visit. This does not mean that the city is immune from the same stresses and strains that plague marriages all over the country. The good news is Dr. Newberger (Ph.D., Conflict Analysis & Resolution) offers a cutting-edge alternative to traditional marriage counseling for Sterling couples. Having earned a Master of Theology degree, he also assists those wanting to incorporate Christian marriage counseling into the repair process.
