Premarital Therapy
Plan for a marriage, not just a wedding!
If you are engaged or seriously dating and considering marriage, these services are for you. CMFT’s premarital therapy program is designed to help couples get their marriage off to a great start and motivate them to continue the process for a lifetime.
During the premarital preparation sessions, couples get connected specifically about what kind of relationship they want and learn how to make it happen. You and your partner will learn communication and conflict resolution skills, identify your potential “stuck” dynamic and what drives it, and develop tools to get “unstuck” and get your needs met.
To determine if and which CMFT Premarital Services are right for you, schedule a free 15 min consultation with us.
