Starting Premarital counseling

What is Premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Wyomissing, PA can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.

How does Premarital counseling work?

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:

  • Common interests and activities
  • Marital expectations
  • Budget and Finance
  • Children and parenting
  • Intimacy

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.

Is Premarital counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does Premarital counseling last?

Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Wyomissing 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.

Need more help deciding?

We can help you make these big decisions.

Preparing for a wedding can be exciting, but also stressful too. Don’t overlook the most important detail.

Is this person right for you? We want to help you with that detail. Whatever brought you to this page, we are glad you found us.

Why Pre-Marital Therapy?

Marriage is not easy; it is hard work and many of them fail. The statistics are against you. Don’t let that happen to you. The key is to be prepared and committed. Get counseling, coaching, and direction before you take that leap. Some faith based officials require that you go through premarital counseling before they perform a ceremony. They want you to have a strong foundation and so do we.

It is a very serious decision that should not be taken lightly. Studies have shown that premarital counseling can help alleviate anxiety and fears. It does not mean you have a problem. It means you are wise enough and mature enough to be prepared. No matter what age you are or socioeconomic status, it is an excellent decision and you and your relationship are worth it.

We want to help you prepare for the future. We can help you explore potential sources of future stress in your upcoming marriage and help you take the steps to prepare for them, and address them before they become a problem. We understand that you may be nervous to find out if you are compatible or not. You might love the person despite what anyone says. However, even if you find that you may be not be the best match in some areas, we can assist you in how to work those issues out before you get married and afterwards.

We can give you the tools to succeed because in any marriage, problems will arise. We can help you identify problems areas.

I am pleased to have someone I can tell how I am feeling that I would not express to family or friends. The medication helps me to get a better night sleep and helps me feel better the following days and to cope throughout the days that follow.

I'm very fortunate to have gotten such a great Therapist Lauren Lowe. She is a very good listener and helps me with my anxiety. Lauren gives me ideas how to manage the anxiety. I see her every Wednesday afternoon and go over what has happened for the week to help me cope with things I have problems with. I look forward to see her and all the help she has given me. I rate her very highly as a Therapist.

I took my preteen child there, who did not want to go at all and after 1 session my child was willing to go back, reporting the counselor was so nice! I instantly saw a change in my child, we will continue to attend throughout the summer to continue to make progress. When we arrived, I instantly felt comfortable in this calm environment. I recommend this office to anyone.
