ASSESSMENT 

We offer two standard approaches to premarital and marriage counseling. SYMBIS and Prepare & Enrich. Both assessments include personalized results to provide insights that will put you on a path toward life-long relationship growth.

WHO CAN TAKE THE ASSESSMENTS?

This service isn’t just for engaged couples, it also provides a relationship check up at any stage in the relationship. It’s true that people change over the years. These powerful and personalized assessments will give you fresh insight into who your partner is and how you can better support, meet each other’s needs, and love each other.

​For couples who are preparing for engagement, and or just got engaged, the assessment will equip them with personalized insights and a deeper understanding of the dynamics of their relationship.

​Couples may be young or old. Faith-based or not. They may be from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds. They may be living together or apart. Whatever a couple’s circumstance, each assessment is uniquely designed to  “know” who they are as they answer preliminary questions, which then customizes the report accordingly.

GOALS

1. The goals of SYMBIS and Prepare & Enrich are to provide couples with objective results and insights for which they can use to help their relationship thrive. By going through the process of exploring your assessment results, you’ll be able to confidently discuss sensitive topics that improve your understanding of a healthy relationship with one another.

2. It does this by assessing everything from individual psychological wellbeing to revealing how each partner’s combined personalities can be leveraged for optimal success. Each assessment is robust, personalized, and powerful.

3. Each individual will be given a unique access code to complete the assessment separately, then come back together to discuss with the therapist the results.
