Start by identifying the core issues you want to resolve

Do you feel disconnected, misunderstood, or 結婚相談所 横浜 overwhelmed by recurring conflicts?

Focus on therapists who have handled cases similar to yours

Ensure your counselor has official certification as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT)

Real progress happens only when you feel respected, validated, and safe

Choose someone who helps you believe in love again
