premarital Counseling
The process of premarital counseling fosters the ability for a couple to talk about an issue they may have been avoiding. This is exactly why premarital counseling is so important. It’s great to work through issues now, with a therapist who can help you communicate, so the issue doesn’t grow to something that will be harmful later on.
​
In the unstructured scenario, couples will be asked to share specific issues they are struggling with and/or want to work on. The counselor will then help the couple address and resolve these issues. These typically involve differences with communication, children, extended family expectations, finances, and work/life balance forecasting.
