“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety” (Abraham Maslow). Sometimes what feels safe, comfortable, and familiar, is actually unhealthy; change can be hard and the unknown scary. Do you feel stuck, repeating toxic patterns or negative thinking? Have life events or stress become overwhelming or seem unmanageable? Maybe you just need a supportive space to talk about what you’re going through and how you are feeling.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Henrico, VA can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.
When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:
If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Henrico typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.
There are many reasons why couples choose premarital counseling at Thriveworks. Some of the couples who reach out to us for premarital counseling are doing so to discover if the partnership is ready for the commitment of marriage, and also to discover approaches for keeping their relationship healthy. Whether or not you have decided to commit to marriage, premarital counseling can be helpful in creating the type of relationship that is healthy and beneficial.
Our premarital counselors at Thriveworks Henrico Virginia want to see your relationship survive and thrive. Thriveworks therapists can aid you and your loved one in learning important strategies for keeping basic respect and love in your relationship, even during times when things are less than perfect.
Studies have shown that premarital counseling can minimize separation fears and pre-marriage anxieties, but we also believe that each member of the relationship can gain a lot from the counseling sessions for personal reasons. One can gain better insight into their partnership and oneself, as well as discover skills that will prove helpful in various other relationships.
As with most types of therapy and counseling, some of the benefits may include:
Therapy does not prove that you have a problem. Rather, it indicates that you are spending time on your mental and emotional health, and making the most of your relationships.
