- 1). Contact your insurance company, if you have one, for a list of marriage and family counselors. Many insurance companies will cover the costs of family counseling, and they can provide a list of counselors in your area from whom they accept billing.
- 2). Ask your family and friends for recommendations. They may have used a counselor or know someone who has used a counselor's services in the past, and they may be willing to give you the counselor's contact information.
- 3). Contact your local mental health agency. These agencies maintain lists of therapists in your city or state, and they can give you contact information for therapists near you.
- 4). Contact your religious organization. If you belong to a religious group, your clergy person may be able to refer you to a counselor. Many clergy are familiar with counseling services in your local area.
- 5). Look online for counselors. Many private practice counselors will maintain websites, and counseling groups or agencies will have group sites that provide information on the individual counselors. Other business and community websites may post the names and phone numbers of local counselors who do not have websites.
