HOW WE CAN HELP THERAPY TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

What is premarital couseling?

Premarital counseling (also called premarital therapy) is all about providing a safe haven to process, prepare, and be excited about your relationship.

Premarital counseling offers a chance to start your commitment off on the right foot. You and your partner meet together with a therapist to work towards your goals of developing a deeper understanding and using strong communication skills with each other. Everything you share would be completely confidential, and the therapist helps keep the conversation balanced, fair, and full of compassion.

In many ways, premarital counseling and couples counseling are quite similar. Couples therapists tend to use the same process of identifying issues in your communication, missing one another’s needs, and other problems that create would distress in the relationship.

Do we need premarital counseling?

Are you and your partner considering marriage, recently engaged, or about to start your life together? Do either of you struggle with feelings of stress or worry about commitment? Have you had the chance to have difficult conversations, such as where to live, whether or not to have kids, or how to navigate family issues?

Premarital counseling focuses on helping you solve problems in the relationship while also preparing you for success in the future. First, we try to address preexisting problems before you begin the relationship.
