Learn How Therapy Can Help

Set a solid foundation for your marriage by exploring expectations, values, and communication skills before tying the knot. Couples who attend premarital counseling are more likely to have a long-lasting, healthy marriage.

Adjusting to major life changes such as starting a family, career shifts, or relocating can strain a relationship. Marriage counseling in Augusta can help navigate these transitions and teach you how to rely on and strengthen each other.

Infidelity can rock a relationship to its core. Through counseling, couples can work towards rebuilding trust and healing emotional wounds. It will take work and commitment on both sides, but healing is possible.

Learn effective techniques to manage conflicts constructively and promote understanding and compromise within your relationship. Conflict happens in all relationships and isn’t a reason to be concerned. Marriage counseling in Augusta can teach you healthy conflict management techniques.

External factors, such as in-law issues or financial stress, can impact your relationship. Marriage counseling provides strategies to navigate these external challenges together. Even the strongest of relationships will experience difficulties. Learn how to manage them with grace and love.

Discussing and working through issues related to intimacy can help rekindle the passion and connection between partners. Intimacy is an important part of any marriage but often gets pushed to the back burner. Prioritize your marital health with marriage counseling in Augusta.

Preparing for Your First Session

Before attending counseling, it is important to get on the same page as your spouse. Ask each other: What are your goals? Why do you want to attend counseling? What do you think our most pressing issue is? This self-reflection will help you maximize the benefits of your counseling sessions. During your first marriage counseling session in Augusta, your therapist will gather relevant background information and understand what your goals are. During this time we encourage you to ask any questions you have as well.
