Premarital counseling therapy in Denver
Strengthen your relationship and prepare for marriage with the help of a couples therapist.
What is premarital counseling?
Are you ready to take your relationship to the next level? Premarital counseling with our trained couples therapists at My Denver Therapy is a proactive step towards a happier, healthier marriage.
Think of it as a relationship tune-up before your big day. Our experienced therapists in Denver, Lone Tree, and Greenwood Village, including many who are trained in SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessments, will help you:
- Identify potential blind spots.
- Strengthen your communication skills.
- Develop conflict resolution strategies.
- Explore your values and expectations.
Research shows that couples who complete premarital counseling are 30% less likely to divorce or separate. Investing just a few hours in this process before you get married can pay huge dividends in your future happiness. Through premarital counseling, we’ll help you strengthen your relationship and avoid future conflicts on your way to a loving and supportive marriage.
How premarital counseling differs from couples therapy
Premarital counseling at My Denver Therapy is more than just addressing current issues; it’s about building a solid foundation for a lifetime of love and connection.
Unlike traditional couples therapy, premarital counseling focuses on preventative measures. Working with a premarital therapist, we help you:
- Develop strong communication skills.
- Learn effective conflict resolution strategies.
- Understand your partner’s emotional needs.
- Build a shared vision for your future together.
At My Denver Therapy, we have multiple therapists who are trained in Gottman Method couples therapy, one of the most popular and effective forms of couples therapy, and SYMBIS assessments.
We use our experience working with couples throughout the Denver area to help you and your partner learn about each other through premarital counseling.
When to start premarital counseling?
Are you engaged or planning your wedding? Premarital counseling is one of the most important investments you can make, and we can help you build a stronger foundation for your relationship with our therapists in Denver, Lone Tree, and Greenwood Village.
One of the biggest mistakes couples make is waiting too long to start premarital counseling sessions. Avoid the stress of last-minute preparations and start your premarital counseling journey as soon as you’re engaged, or with plenty of time before your wedding day. Starting premarital counseling early has many benefits:
- Avoid rushing through important discussions.
- Give yourself time to address underlying issues.
- Build excitement and anticipation for your marriage.
For many couples, starting premarital counseling at least 6 months before their wedding is ideal. This allows for ample time to explore your relationship, discuss your future goals, and address any concerns.
Premarital counseling is so much more than requirement or something to do; it’s an opportunity to strengthen your bond together. By investing in this process, you’ll gain valuable insights, improve your communication skills, and build a solid foundation for your relationship and future.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our therapists
My Denver Therapy is one of the largest therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested mental health therapists in the Denver Metro area.
As a therapist-owned practice with over 100 years of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients in person and online.
Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in clients of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, and life experiences.
Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works and has grown over time, our therapists also provide consultation for other therapists and private practices throughout the Denver Metro area.
Our therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy, EMDR, and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.
We know that our clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists of different ages with a wide range of backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, schedule, and what you want to work on to help you get started quickly.
We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid or Medicare, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. Also, we don’t charge separate intake or administration fees or charge more for specialized therapy methods like EMDR.
All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with a commitment to your progress and growth.
