Premarital Counseling

You want your marriage to last.

Of course! That’s why you’re here, and you’ve come to the right place.

Statistics show premarital counseling reduces the risk of divorce by nearly 30%.

With the national divorce rate hovering around 50%, investing in your relationship before saying “I do” can dramatically increase your chances of long-term success.

You can find premarital education courses, but premarital counseling gives you direct access to a licensed mental health professional.

You’ll receive targeted support, real-time feedback, and a safe space to process any differences or difficult topics with care.

Think about this question…

Who taught you how to be in a successful romantic relationship?

Was there a class in high school?

Did your parents sit you down and walk you through communication, conflict, intimacy, and commitment?

Probably not.

Most of us learn about relationships through observation, watching parents, friends, movies, and social media.

That means your beliefs about love, roles, and conflict are shaped by examples, not education.

That’s why premarital counseling is so important.

You need to be prepared for more than just your wedding day. You have to prepare for every day that follows.

Premarital Counseling is a structured, goal-oriented process led by a licensed therapist to help you and your partner prepare for marriage.

It’s like relationship coaching – designed to build resilience, deepen trust, and strengthen communication before challenges arise.

It’s a good idea for any couple.

Even couples who have lived together for years can be brought closer together by premarital counseling. Whether you’re newly engaged or weeks from the wedding, it’s never too early (or too late) to invest in your future.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Healthy communication and conflict resolution
  • Roles and expectations in marriage
  • Financial values and planning
  • Intimacy, affection, and sexual compatibility
  • Family patterns and their influence on your relationship
  • Parenting philosophies and career goals
  • Religious or spiritual beliefs
  • Your shared vision for the future

Here’s what you can expect…

  • Six to ten sessions (50 minutes each)
  • A personalized couples assessment before we begin
  • A custom-tailored plan based on your strengths, goals, and growth areas
  • Real conversations, guided exercises, and skills you can take into marriage
  • Homework between sessions to apply what you’ve learned

Yes, it can be challenging, but it can also be fun.

But what’s most important is that it will prepare you for a lifetime together.

You still have questions…

How long is the commitment?
Most couples complete their work in 3–6 months. Weekly or biweekly sessions are available.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice incur a fee. We understand life happens; we’ll handle special circumstances reasonably.
What’s the first session like?
It’s relaxed and conversational. We’ll get to know each other and begin to assess your unique relationship dynamics.
How much is it?

Individual sessions are $800 per couple for four (4) sessions (before rebate)

Group sessions are $500 per couple (minimum of 5 couples per group)

Can I use my insurance?
Premarital sessions are not covered by insurance. However, I’m happy to assist with out-of-network reimbursement paperwork (Superbills).

Still wondering if premarital counseling is right for you?

If you’re preparing to marry or commit to a lifelong partnership, then the answer is YES.

Premarital counseling is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in each other.
