Couples Therapy

Planning a wedding is exciting, but preparing for marriage means making room for the conversations that are harder to have. Perhaps disagreements keep repeating, expectations are unclear, or topics like money, intimacy, and family boundaries leave you feeling stuck. Our premarital counseling program offers a supportive space to explore these concerns together, understand each other more deeply, and work toward a shared approach to married life.

​

Across 4–8 sessions with a psychologist, we focus on the areas that matter most to your relationship, rather than following a one-size-fits-all checklist. Sessions may explore communication and conflict, values and expectations, emotional and physical intimacy, finances, or relationships with extended family. This is a more accessible, counseling-focused option without SYMBIS or PREPARE/ENRICH assessments, with practical conversations and exercises tailored to your needs. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.

As part of our counseling service, we provide SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessments to couples preparing to get married. We offer valuable insights and guidance to strengthen their relationship and lay a solid foundation for a successful and fulfilling marriage.

 

This is a separate and optional assessment for premarital counseling that couples can choose to complement and support their premarital counseling sessions. Some benefits from taking SYMBIS assessments are: gaining personalized insights into areas such as communication styles, love languages, personality dynamics, and potential areas of strength and growth; identifying potential challenges that couple may face in their marriage; it adds depth and structure to the counseling sessions, allowing couples to delve deeper into their relationship dynamics.

PREPARE/ENRICH is a personalized relationship assessment with more than 45 years of experience helping couples build healthier relationships. Established in 1980, it helps partners understand their strengths, identify challenges, and explore important topics such as communication, conflict resolution, finances, and relationship expectations. Suitable for couples preparing for marriage, seeking a stronger connection, or currently experiencing relationship difficulties, it provides a foundation for guided sessions to address concerns, develop practical relationship skills, and strengthen their connection.

​

​While both assessments help couples build healthier relationships, SYMBIS places a strong emphasis on preparing for marriage by exploring readiness, expectations, and personality dynamics. PREPARE/ENRICH assesses relationship strengths and growth areas across different stages, from dating and engagement to established marriages, and can guide sessions addressing current difficulties.

Support for the transition into parenthood.

You are learning to care for your baby, but your well-being matters too. Becoming a parent can bring joy alongside exhaustion, uncertainty, and changes in your identity and relationship. Our New Parents Counseling program supports mothers and couples navigating everyday adjustment challenges, offering a space to explore concerns, communicate needs, share responsibilities, and find practical ways to care for themselves while caring for their child.

​

Before starting, the mother attends an initial consultation that includes screening for emotional well-being and possible postpartum mental-health concerns. This helps us understand her needs and determine whether the program is the right fit. Sessions are then tailored to relevant concerns, such as coping with new routines, navigating family expectations, and maintaining connection with a partner. If screening suggests a need for more specialized support, we will discuss further assessment, appropriate treatment options, or referral.

 

Short scope note

This program focuses on adjustment to parenthood and is not a substitute for treatment of postpartum depression or other mental-health conditions. An initial consultation and emotional well-being screening are required before enrollment.

Divorce and Separation Counseling

When a marriage is ending, it can be difficult to know how to move forward. You may be facing grief, anger, uncertainty, or conversations that repeatedly turn into conflict. Our Divorce and Separation Counseling program offers a supportive space to process these emotions, clarify your needs, and navigate the transition with greater care for yourself and those affected. The focus is not on assigning blame or pressuring you to reconcile, but on supporting a thoughtful path forward.

​

Sessions are tailored to your circumstances and may explore communication, boundaries, unresolved emotional concerns, and adjustment to life apart. For parents, we also make space to discuss co-parenting expectations and keeping children’s well-being at the center of difficult conversations. You can seek support individually or, where appropriate, together. Counseling focuses on emotional and relationship concerns; it does not replace legal advice or legal mediation.
