Pre-Marital Counseling

Getting married?  Congratulations!  Planning your wedding is such an exciting time!

In all the excitement and stress of planning your wedding, remember that your wedding will just last for a day, but your marriage can last a lifetime.  So, while you are planning your wedding, don’t forget to plan for your marriage.

If you are just starting out, I would love to work with you to develop a strong foundation for a lasting marriage.

Prepare-Enrich

The Prepare/Enrich online couples assessment will jumpstart the counseling process.

Follow up counseling sessions will help to:

  • Identify your relationship strengths and areas for further growth
  • Strengthen your communication skills
  • Identify and manage major stressors
  • Improve your skills for problem solving and conflict resolution
  • Understand and appreciate personality differences and their impact on your relationship
  • Explore your relationship and families-or-origin issuers
  • Briefly address the common topics of conflict – money, sex, and kids
  • Establish personal, couple, and family goals

What will premarital counseling cost?

The basic Premarital package includes the cost of the online assessment, your personalized assessment results, plus 6 hours of counseling. The total package cost is $525.

Sessions can be scheduled for your convenience in blocks or as an intensive.  Additional sessions may be scheduled, as needed, at the standard rate.
