Marriage Counseling & Couples Therapy

Whether you’ve been in a relationship for a year or you’ve been married for more than fifty, Fash Counseling helps all kinds of couples improve their relationships.

When couples should seek counseling

Couples counseling can help your relationship or marriage if you or your partner:

  • Want to communicate more effectively
  • Are feeling indifferent or bored with your relationship
  • Want to regain trust after an affair, cheating, or other unfaithful act
  • Need help working through a major life transition like marriage, a child, a major move, or becoming empty nesters
  • Feel constantly irritated by your partner
  • Repeatedly argue about the same thing
  • Want to work through a major life challenge like health issues, infertility, the loss of a loved one, challenges with in-laws, or unemployment
  • Are struggling with emotional and/or physical intimacy
  • Disagree about parenting decisions

Do my partner and I need pre-marital counseling?

Pre-marital counseling helps build a solid foundation by addressing important topics and fostering a deeper understanding of one another. Studies have shown that couples who go through some form of pre-marital counseling have happier and more fulfilling marriages and are more likely to remain married.

Pre-marital counseling isn't just for couples who are unsatisfied with components of their relationship. It can be beneficial for couples who:

  • Want to enhance communication and conflict resolution skills
  • Are interested in discussing expectations for married life, including finances, household responsibilities, and long-term goals
  • Wish to explore and align their values, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds
  • Want to better understand each other's emotional needs and personalities
  • Have concerns about potential challenges they may face as a married couple
  • Desire to develop a shared approach to important decisions like family planning, career choices, and lifestyle preferences

Our experienced counselors provide a supportive space for couples to have honest, constructive conversations about their future together. Through structured sessions, we help couples address topics that are often overlooked before marriage, ensuring you're both equipped with the tools needed for a healthy, lasting partnership.
