What Can We Expect from Premarital or Precommitment Therapy?
We’re often asked whether our premarital and precommitment therapy follows a structured program or fixed number of sessions. While each therapist at Clarity Counseling Seattle brings their own unique style to this work, we don’t use a rigid format. Instead, your sessions are tailored to your specific relationship and needs from the very first meeting.
We’ll help you identify the areas of your relationship that may benefit from growth, and provide the tools, support, and guidance to help you strengthen those areas. While the number of sessions can vary, most couples typically attend at least 10 sessions with us.
What Happens During Premarital Therapy?
We often use the Gottman Relationship Checkup, a research-based assessment that you’ll complete at home. It helps us efficiently zero in on areas of strength and challenge in your relationship. From there, we guide you in building important relationship skills, deepening your connection, and learning how to approach challenges as a team.
Why Premarital Therapy Matters
We love working with premarital and precommitment couples—truly! It’s incredibly rewarding to help you lay a strong foundation for your future together and avoid common pitfalls that many couples face down the road. Relationship skills are absolutely learnable, and investing in this now sets you up for a more resilient, fulfilling partnership later.
