I agree it is all in the right person. I have attended counseling that I thought was a joke. This last time I attended several sessions with a Psychiatrist who specializes in families dealing with addiction. That made a huge difference for me b/c he could actually understand my fears and anxieties. If a person is not educated in addiction and is trying to understand something they don't, that's not likely to happen.
Counseling is no marriage. If you don't find one you like, try another. ASK AROUND, that is really important. I found a wonderful counselor for my daughter by a recommendation from someone at Celebrate Recovery. Those people know and understand the issues a teen has in dealing with an addict father and parents divorcing, so I felt they would be a good group to ask. It was spot on.
