Couples Counseling

In-Person in the Suwanee, Alpharetta & Cumming Area | Online in Georgia

You have the same fight over and over again. Nothing ever really gets resolved but you just

move on, pushing one more thing under the rug. You try to communicate but you end up feeling

more disconnected from the person whom you should feel safest with. You love your spouse but

not feeling very “in love” with him.

Are you withdrawing from your spouse or experiencing contempt and anger in your relationship?

Are you defensive with each other or find yourself criticizing your spouse?

Are you engaged or soon-to-be engaged and looking to prepare for marriage?

If this describes you and your partner, we can help. Being in a marriage or committed relationship is hard work! Sometimes you start feeling indifferent in your relationship or find that you are growing apart. You may find that there are underlying problems you haven’t addressed and need some help finding your footing again. Our therapists have received special training to help couples navigate the various challenges in their relationship.

We believe that marriages are worth saving and make every effort to assist couples to that end.

Some couples are looking to enrich their relationship by learning more effective communication skills or understanding their different personalities, while other couples are struggling with their relationship and need assistance in replacing negative conflict patterns or restoring trust after a betrayal.

Whatever your struggle, we will come alongside you as a couple to learn what your concerns are and assist you with achieving your goals for your relationship.

Communication

Conflict resolution

Premarital Counseling

Preparing to get engaged or get married is an exciting time in life, so many find it helpful to complete premarital counseling to help prepare for this next step. Our staff utilizes the Prepare/Enrich assessment to gain insight into your relationship. This assessment is a separate $35 cost, but will allow your therapist to quickly identify strengths and growth areas of your relationship.

We offer à la carte premarital sessions as well as a six-session package. In the state of Georgia, you can get a discount on your marriage license if you obtain 6 sessions of premarital counseling.

We use research-based interventions to help you communicate more effectively, deepen intimacy and connection and heal emotional wounds. If you are looking to prepare for marriage or start on a new path in your relationship, our therapists are ready to come alongside you on this journey.
