Coparenting Counseling will not heal the pain and hurt YOU FEEL from your divorce. You will need to do your own recovery and therapy for that to happen (and I hope that you do!), but Coparenting Counseling can be helpful in building a new relationship with your coparent. For kids of divorce, they have enough pain to deal with just getting over their family ending. Adding constant fighting to that pain is just not fair. For their sake, I urge you to get help if you need it, so your kids learn that divorce is NOT the final word to their family, as they knew it.  There is hope for a new future and while their parents are no longer married they can get along, so everyone can move forward and have a better future.

“Therapy’s SO expensive!”. Yes, it is, and so is divorce. In Alabama, the going rate to divorce your spouse is $7,000, and that’s if it’s uncontested. If you haven’t already come to an agreement on things like the division of your assets and debts, alimony, child custody, child support, and more, then yours is classified as a contested divorce. Contested divorces average $14,000 - $20,000 and all this while still trying to focus on day-to-day needs like your career, your home, your kids, and yourself.

Online couples therapy closely mirrors the traditional, in-office approach but is done from the comfort of your own home. This mode of treatment is particularly suited for couples with busy modern lifestyles, eliminating the need to travel or adjust work schedules to meet therapy appointments.

Traditional couples counseling may not always result in considerable improvement, even if a couple is committed to their treatment journey. Some couples may want to speed up the process of reaching their healing goals. Also, many couples in crisis find counseling sessions insufficient to address their relationship concerns.

In such cases, looking into intensive couples therapy might be a good idea. Couples intensives are designed for couples who feel stuck in the loop of traditional weekly sessions and want to try a more concentrated and rigorous approach to therapy.

At Sparrow Counseling, we understand that finding the right counseling option can be challenging. You may be unsure of whether you need traditional couples counseling or a couples intensive in Birmingham, AL. Let's unpack the differences and help you find support that aligns with your unique relationship needs.

Consider taking your commitment to the next level by creating a couple’s mission statement. This simple yet powerful exercise can set the tone for the entire year.
