The Center For Relational Transformation Approach to Premarital Counseling

At The Center for Relational Transformation, we use an experiential approach to premarital counseling. From the first session, we give you and your partner the chance to communicate a new, different and effective way. You'll start by practicing communication skills in couples counseling sessions so you can begin to feel heard in a way you may have never experienced before. Then, we'll encourage you to practice those same new communication skills in your discussions outside our counseling sessions. 

As you and your future spouse begin to communicate in this new way, you'll build positive moments together. Your couples therapist will encourage you and your fiancee to share your reactions to these new experiences so you can both see the value of these new interactions, fine-tune how you interact and continue to interact in an effective way.

Premarital Counseling:
A Strong Foundation
for a Marriage

Premarital counseling can and does help relationships in the long-run. In fact, with counseling the likelihood of divorce is diminished significantly.

 

In our downtown Chicago office, we help couples create happier, healthier marriages. With the help of a pre-marriage therapist, you can start your life together with a strong foundation.  As counseling progresses, you will both feel cared for, understood and connected to each other.  What are you waiting for?
