Why Choose Premarital Counseling?

Premarital counseling with Rebecca Ishida is an indispensable experience for any couple hoping to take the next step in their relationship. Located in Beverly Hills, I provide personalized premarital counseling to help couples build a strong foundation for a lasting and fulfilling marriage.

Preparing for marriage is an exciting journey, but it can also bring up important conversations and challenges. Premarital counseling in Beverly Hills offers a safe and supportive space to explore these topics, ensuring that you and your partner are aligned as you embark on this new chapter together.

Build a Strong Foundation for Your Marriage

In our premarital counseling sessions, we focus on:

  • Enhancing Communication Skills: Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy marriage. We’ll work on understanding each other’s communication styles and developing strategies to express your thoughts and feelings openly and respectfully.
  • Conflict Resolution: Every couple faces disagreements. Learning how to navigate conflicts constructively is essential. We’ll explore techniques to manage disputes without damaging your relationship.
  • Exploring Expectations and Goals: Discussing your expectations, values and goals helps ensure you and your partner are on the same page regarding important life decisions.
  • Improving Intimacy and Connection: Deepening emotional and sexual intimacy strengthens your bond. We’ll address any concerns and work toward enhancing your connection.

Is Premarital Counseling Right for You?

Whether you’re experiencing specific challenges or simply want to strengthen your relationship before marriage, premarital counseling can be highly beneficial. Couples often seek counseling for:

  • Communication Issues: Struggling to understand each other or feeling unheard.
  • Blended Family Concerns: Navigating relationships with stepchildren or extended family.
  • Financial Discussions: Addressing money management and financial goals.
  • Cultural or Religious Differences: Reconciling different backgrounds and beliefs.

What to Expect in Premarital Counseling

Our sessions are tailored to your unique relationship. We begin by identifying your strengths as a couple and areas for growth. Using a combination of therapeutic approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, we’ll work together to equip you with the tools needed for a successful marriage.

As a therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I can also help address past experiences that may impact your relationship dynamics.
