Premarital Counseling
Not married yet? Seeking counseling before you say, "I do," can set your relationship up for a lifetime of growth.
Premarital counseling may take many forms, including a predetermined number of sessions with a specific objective or a more exploratory and flexible approach. Talking with your BHD therapist will help you identify the most beneficial approach for you and your partner.
You and your partner are always welcome here. You'll be met with an unbiased and non-judgmental therapist who will work collaboratively with each of you to identify your goals and facilitate conversation in a safe setting.
