Couples Counseling

Counseling where the couple come in to work on aspects of their relationship that need some work. This may be a matter of fine tuning things, especially when the family moves through a developmental point (such as having children or all the children leaving the home), or it may be to address significant issues that have arisen.

Marriage Checkup

This service provides the couple with a structured way of looking at their relationship and assessing where it is at and what they might do with it now. You can think of this as taking your car in for service at a significant mile marker - there is some work to be done but when it has been done then you can expect the car to run well for a while.
