How is coaching different from therapy?

Coaching is educational and forward focused, designed to help you build skills and achieve goals. Your coach can be someone you develop a personal relationship with - even a friend - while therapists maintain strict professional boundaries and cannot be your friend. Coaching is about moving forward and achieving goals. Coaching cannot treat psychological conditions or past trauma.

Unlike therapy, coaching does not require professional clinical expertise, does not adhere to the same rigorous standards and privacy protections as therapeutic relationships, and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

How long does the program take?

Most couples complete the program in 6-8 sessions over 2-3 months, though we can adjust the timeline to fit your needs.

When should we start coaching?

If you are engaged and want to complete the program as part of your premarital process, then we suggest 3-6 months before. This will give you time to work through insights and practice new skills without the stress of last-minute planning.

If you are not currently in the middle of wedding planning, then no better time than now!

How much does the coaching cost?

• 5-session package - $800 total. This includes the initial consultation call (45minutes), the assessment code for both partners and 4 follow up sessions.

• Follow up sessions are $200 each.

Does my relationship need to be failing before we start coaching?

Not at all! Relationship coaching helps you improve your communication and deepen your bond. It is not a hail Mary before a breakup.

Wait…which one of you will work with us?

Both of us! We believe that since there are two partners in a marriage, it is only wise to bring both perspectives into your pre-marital coaching. Otherwise it becomes easy for one partner to feel unseen or unheard because of their lived experiences.

What if we discover major issues in our relationship?

Our goal is to give you the tools to succeed in resolving conflicts, communicating and setting expectations. If significant concerns arise such as issues of addiction or abuse, we'll discuss them openly and will recommend additional resources or professional support.

Do we both need to be committed to the process?

Yes, both partners should be willing participants.
