Starting marriage counseling can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what to ask.

You might be wondering: How do I find the right fit? What questions are okay to ask? How do I know if a therapist is experienced with couples like us?

We get it. Choosing a marriage counselor is one of the most important decisions you can make for your relationship. That’s why we’ve created a list of thoughtful questions to help you feel confident and prepared before you begin.

In our latest blog, Questions to Ask a Prospective Marriage Counselor in Birmingham, AL, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Ask about logistics and fees
✨ Understand a counselor’s training and experience
✨ Recognize when a therapist feels like the right fit

Because finding the right counselor isn’t just about credentials, it’s about connection, trust, and feeling seen. 💛

One of the questions we get most often is:
“Do you take insurance for marriage or couples counseling?”

The short answer is no, and we know that might sound unusual. But at Sparrow Counseling, staying private pay allows us to provide therapy that moves at your pace, not the pace of an insurance company.

It means your information stays private, your care stays flexible, and your therapist can focus on you, not on billing codes or red tape.

💛 Learn more about why we don’t accept insurance for marriage and couples counseling in Alabama, and how that choice benefits our clients.

Why does emotional regulation matter so much in relationships?

Because no one can trigger you like your partner. A small disagreement can escalate quickly, leaving you both lonely, resentful, or hopeless.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In our newest blog, Emotional Regulation in Relationships: Why It Matters & How Marriage Counseling in Alabama Can Help, we explore:
✔️ How emotional regulation prevents escalation
✔️ How it builds trust and safety
✔️ How it creates connection beyond conflict

Marriage counseling can help you and your partner learn these skills, so you can slow down, stay steady, and truly hear each other.

☀️ Sparrow is soaking up the last moments of summer! ☀️

During the week, she’s busy learning how to be a comforting presence in the therapy room, but on the weekend? She’s a summer splash queen!

This little therapy dog-in-training reminds us to chase joy, rest well, and hold onto the light while it’s still here. Because sometimes healing looks like sunshine, belly flops, and a long nap after. 💙

Here’s to more laughter, more play, and soaking in the season while it lasts.
