Premarital couples and couples counseling is offered in order to provide specific tools and insights in order to maximize couple compatibility and communication.
Premarital Therapy - Glen Haven offers premarital therapy to help couples enter married life as healthy and prepared as possible. We utilize formal assessment tools that identify areas of compatibility, as well as areas in need of increased exploration and discussion. We provide valuable information about healthy relationships, communication styles and techniques, conflict resolution skills, problem solving, spiritual growth, family of origin issues, and goal planning. In addition to individual sessions, Glen Haven offers "Growing Together, " a ten-hour workshop for groups of engaged couples.
Parenting Enrichment - Parenting is a challenging and exhausting experience for many people. Glen Haven seeks to help parents feel better equipped to deal with the difficulties this role presents. We help parents develop healthy parenting skills and stronger connections with their children. We do so by exploring different ways to address specific issues, such as communication, time management, structure building, conflict resolution, discipline, and strengthening the emotional connection between parents and children.
The purpose of couples therapy is to create a stronger connection between partners in a committed relationship, whether dating, engaged, married, or remarried. Couples often become stuck in negative patterns of interacting that erode communication, intimacy, and emotional connection. Our goal at Glen Haven is to help couples escape these destructive patterns and engage in healthier communication and deeper emotional connection. At the end of therapy, couples experience less conflict, greater understanding of one another, and a more secure connection.
