Couples Therapy — Before there are problems

I have long written about the benefits of couples therapy before marriage — ostensibly when couples are feeling great about each other. As a mental wellness counsellor, I now offer marriage prep or pre-marriage counselling for couples who are not in distress — yes that might sound odd. However, I am still amazed how many couples see therapy as a sign of weakness instead of strength. This blog discusses the benefits of couples counseling before there are problems. If you are interested in couples preventative therapy or maybe there are problems you are still ignoring or minimizing, do connect here or through www.ontariotherapist.com. I may help you become more aware of your patterns, to improve or maintain communication and connection, to recognize the pitfalls, and to stay true to your goals and values independently, and as a couple. What better gift could you give your partner and yourself before marriage or when times are good?
