Delay in personal and relationship growth

FAQs

Q: What are premarital counseling sessions like?

A: It depends on what your specific needs are but most sessions typically resemble one of two types. (1) Led by the therapist where every week you guys are diving into another topic- so think a 8-12 week course. The other type(2) is led by the couple where it mirrors a regular couples therapy session where we are unpacking, processing, and working through emotions/situations from the start.

Q: How long do I need to be in therapy?

A: For premarital therapy, we have found that 8-12 weeks is best. Meaning, you have a wedding date set and this is just something that is on the check list of items that need to be done. However, if there is no date set, and you are looking for help in your relationship, just start weekly. You can go as long as you think is beneficial.
