I'm interested in finding a good marriage / couples counselor who is PRO marriage. I'm not sure phone counseling would be a good fit for WW and me at this point.
What suggestions do you have for finding good counselors? Thanks, D.

DNU1,
Actually phone counseling with either Steve or Jennifer might be a very good bet right now. They, especially Steve, have a way to cut to the chase without any meandering around trying to placate the WS. They call a spade a spade and not a shovel...
45 minutes with either one can get you farther than weeks of attending sessions with someone who only marginally understands the dynamics of recovery from infidelity.
If you do opt for a local counselor, ask up front their views on Dr Harley's stuff. If they haven't heard of him or say that they disagree with him entirely, keep looking.

I strongly recommend you try the Harleys. Phone counseling seems to be more effective than in person, and unlike most marriage counselors, the Harleys know how to save marriages.
Marriage counselors have an 84% failure rate and most are not pro-marriage. They are little more than divorce facilitators who do not even understand the dynamics of adultery.
