My husband and I have hit a Rough Spot, and I'm kind of freaking out. We have been to counseling before, but it was with our EAPs. Suffice to say, you get what you pay for. It would be nice if the counselor or therapist had a more "alternative" approach. Thanks, and many blessings to the awesome Mamasource mamas!

Hello Chrisi, sorry to hear that your marriage has hit a rough spot but I do believe we need those every once in awhile because God wants to bring you two closer. The counselor I recommend is my Bishop and pastor. They have been married for over 30+ years and they act like just gotten married. They have 2 grown sons and 10 grandchildren. They counsel together and their so awesome. Their names are Keith and Lisa Wesley. Their church is New Life In Christ Christian Fellowship and their located at 12401 Byars Road and the phone number is ###-###-####. I do believe my Bishop and pastor can help because they believe in marriage and they will not lead you wrong. Just give them a call. God bless you and your husband. Keep your head up and keep God first and God will bring you through your storm.
Hi C.,
I am sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time now in your marriage. Unfortunately I do not have a reccomendation for a good marriage counselor, but I can tell you who not to see.
Kathy King is a marriage and family counselor and she is located on the Plaza. I went to her for family issues (my family is not loving or kind, and I wanted help dealing with things that I have been through with them). Anyway, I had mentioned how I try to not upset my parents, because I don't want to hurt them for how they make me feel and so on (even though they do not consider my feelings I still like to be considerate of theirs), and she made a remark about hanging me on a cross and how Jesus doesn't want any competition. I am pretty sensitive and cried during my time with her and she told me I needed to quit the crying and my family wasn't worth the tears. I am no professional but I felt these comments and many others to be inappropriate and not exactly beneficial. I relayed this info to one of my college professors (psychology), and she told me to quit seeing her and run the other way.
I do hope you find someone good to help you through this time.
I don't know of any, either, but if someone responds with one, would you share?
If I had any problems at all, I would go to my pastor, and I heartily recommend him to anyone for any personal issue. He's wonderful, caring, and won't pressure you to join his church. I believe the church also has a group of licensed marriage counselors they refer people to, so you might just want to call the church office. It's Overland Park Christian Church, ###-###-####, or opccdoc.org online. Good luck!
