Where can I find low cost marriage/family counseling for my husband and I in the surrounding area (robinson, bridgeville, south hills etc)? We are also uninsured, we are just looking for something to help us communicate better and not fight sooo much.. Situation is I was let go from my job at 8 months pregnant, I have since had our baby who is almost 3 months old now and am on unemployment. My husband has his own business but due to the economy has had to start working for someone else but still making good money. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works, we both wanted it to be i stay home and raise our baby but since the baby we haven't stopped fighting for more than a few days at a time. We both really wanna get into counseling but w edon't want to go broke doing so.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your help! The suggestions I got from you guys is exactly what we are ding so thank you! We are buying the dvd of mark gungor because he is a greta speaker, funny and knowledgable so we'll enjoy wayching that together. Also, we are taking the "marriage sustainers" class through Twogether Pittsburgh. It is a wonderful program, offers so many different classes which we can take at any time, is so helpful and the best part....totally free. We are doing much better, getting back to the playful way we were.

R., you have had a lot of stressors and it is common to have communication difficulties in marriage especially when there is so much going on. Good for you to make the effort to work it out. What might be helpful for you are marriage classes at a local church, they are usually free and will give you ways to communicate without fighing. Twogether Pittsburgh is an organization that sponsors marriage classes at locations all over the Pittsburgh area. You can see their website at www.twogetherpgh.org. One listed there that might be near you is Crafton Heights UP, http://www.chup.org/marriage.htm
If that's not convenient, there are others listed or call a couple churches that are near you.

The Duquesne University Psychology Clinic provides low cost (sliding fee) counseling services to the greater Pgh area community. They are not in the S. Hills (centrally located in downtown Pgh) but you can receive excellent services from students getting PhD level training (as opposed to Masters level counseling).
