For some strange reason, there seems to be a stigma surrounding marriage counseling. This is a bizarre phenomena, in that a relationship with another person, especially one as intense and personal as a marriage, is something that takes a great deal of work to make a lasting connection. It doesn't mean that you're doing a bad job, or that you are failing at marriage, it might be something as simple as finding a better way to communicate. No two people are one hundred percent compatible and that doesn't mean that you can't have a wonderful, lasting marriage. You simply need to know what you have to work on.
Sometimes, people still find themselves wanting to make sure that their counseling is kept private and that they will not accidentally be seen, even just in the parking lot, by people who know them. For those folks, seeking counseling in a nearby area that is out of their usual path can be a way to feel a little more comfortable about receiving marriage counseling. Raleigh, NC is an area where there are several cities within close driving distance and all of them have a number of quality professionals to choose from. Say for example, that you you live in Cary or Apex and want to get away from your town to look for marriage counselors: Raleigh, NC is a great choice- close enough to be convenient and far enough to ease your psychological discomfort about running into folks you know.
Of course, it's worth the reminder that if you run into somebody in the counselor's office, they are probably there for the same reason that you are. It isn't as if there are people out there who are perfect. Everyone has their strengths, just as everyone has weaknesses. It is the sign of a bigger person to actually be able to admit the areas in which you need help and then take steps to improve. If all else fails, you can just blame your kids...everyone understands the stress that children can put on a relationship. (That's a joke...mostly.)
If you are in a situation where you are uncomfortable asking for recommendations from friends, family, religious leaders, etc., you can always use the Internet, helpful tool that it is, to help you find a good marriage counselor. It can be as simple as typing "marriage counselor, Raleigh NC" into a search engine and seeing what comes up. You will often find reviews online, and it is usually worthwhile to read through any information that couples therapists put out there for the public to read. Doing this can help you get a better idea of what kind of experience you might have with them. Once you have found someone who you think you would like to see; make an initial appointment that will allow you to ask any questions of them that you might have as well as tell them what, exactly, you desire to gain out of your time with them.
