Premarital Counseling Program that is non-religious?

mariapeppas

Hi guys,

I am hoping to find a local (Boston, North Shore or NH area) premarital counseling program. Something similar to the programs that most churches have...but secular in nature. Anyone know of anything local?

Thanks!

Maria,

If you are simply looking to do some preparatory counseling work that isn't focused on a faith based perspective, I'd recommend working with a couples therapist.   Lots of them have experience in preparing couples for marriage.  A good, faith-based curriculum will focus mostly on communication style etc., which is absolutely work that can be done with a couples therapist not through a faith lens.

Good luck!

Best,

Heidi

Not sure if you still need information but I do know of a resouce for non-religious pre-marital counseling. I can recommend a woman I recently started working with in West Boylston. The place is call Counseling for Change and Transition, her name is Carol. Ricchion (not sure of spelling) I heard about her through a family member who worked with her perviously.I think if you searched on line you could find her. Pre-marital counseling is a really good idea and kinda fun too so far. Hope this helps, good luck.
