Criterea for a couples counselor?
My BF and I are looking to get into couples counseling to work out somethings before we dive head first into a future together. But just picking a name out of the phone book feels a bit odd.
What are some criterea, besides education and license, should we be looking for?
If you have any insight into this maybe you are a counselor or have been to counseling, would love to hear from you.

Well, basically I'd say look into what type of therapy they do (psychodynamic, CBT, imagio) and figure out theoretical basis you two are more comfortable with. Getting recomendations from people you know may also be helpful (as the psych's can't give you a reference list, but if one of your friends had a good experience with a person, they might be happy to tell you).
Basically remember that just because you go to see one shrink once, doesn't mean you're stuck with them. You want to try them out and see if they're a good match for you, because if neither of you are comfortable then you're not going to work together very well.
