Pre-Marriage Counseling

One way that Cedar Hill Counseling prioritizes relationships is by offering counseling services specifically designed for couples preparing to join their lives in marriage.  Most people, as they prepare for marriage, dream of a vibrant, life-long relationship - one that is built on love, trust, and mutual respect.  One in which they feel valued, heard, and understood.  This kind of lasting, fulfilling marriage can be yours!  But it takes a little knowledge and some skill to master.  

You will likely spend many months and thousands of dollars planning your dream wedding.  In the process, don't forget to plan your dream marriage!  Pre-marriage counseling is such an incredibly important step in building a solid foundation for your life together.  You'll learn skills you can use now, and then perfect as you journey through life together in the years to come.  From clearer communication skills, to handling conflict and differences, to managing finances as a team, you can feel confident as a couple that you have the tools you need to face the road ahead.

Each couple will take the Prepare-Enrich Inventory (a computerized questionnaire) at the beginning of the process.  It covers a range of focus areas proven to be significant in preparing individuals for marriage.  How couples choose to explore the findings of the inventory is up to them, and a few formats are available to meet the varied needs of each couple.

Session-By-Session Pre-Marriage Counseling

$225 per 75-minute session

The number of sessions is at the discretion of the couple, but 3 is usually a minimum.

SESSION Package Deals

The package best suited for each couple is finalized with the couple at the completion of the first session, and package fees are due in full at that time in order to receive the discounted package rate. Otherwise, session-by-session pricing applies.
