Premarital counseling is one of the most important services offered at the counseling center. It encompasses a comprehensive biblical approach and is geared to equip couples to successfully navigate the many tides and currents of married life.

Our goal is to help couples evaluate their relationship and to equip them with the skills needed to begin a life-long season of marital growth and contentment.

Using unique results from your online assessment as a framework we:

• Identify potential problems before they occur
• Clarify expectations regarding finances, in-laws, holidays, roles, and parenting
• Examine emotional spiritual, and physical intimacy needs

Asking for help can be difficult, but everyone needs help sometimes. Counseling can be of benefit if you are depressed or anxious; if you are experiencing grief, trauma, or abuse; or if you are simply struggling with everyday life. Counseling can be a difficult process but also a deeply rewarding one. River City Advocacy’s counseling program serves New Braunfels, Comal County, and the surrounding areas.

We offer individual, couples, and family counseling by appointment.

Ages 14+.

Couples Therapy

In couple’s therapy, clients can work to improve relationship quality with the help of a trained therapist in a 45-50 minute session. Couples explore what is helping or hindering their relationship, and how to set and communicate healthy boundaries, and can increase feelings of connection and closeness during this process. This type of therapy can help identify what may be causing strain within a relationship or address specific problems with various forms of therapeutic intervention.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of group therapy that works with family members to identify familial patterns or behaviors that cause relational strain or individual issues. With the help of a therapist trained in familial counseling, family members can focus on changing destructive patterns and behavior, improving relationships, and enhancing communication. Throughout family therapy sessions, family members can be guided through problem-solving techniques that can fuel solid, stable, healthier, and happier relationships with one another.

• Have you done everything you can to save and rehabilitate your marriage?
  Do you have unfinished emotional business that you would like to resolve?
• Have you researched, planned, and prepared yourself legally for divorce?
• Are you ready to adopt a new standard of conduct with your children?
• Are you willing to create a new relationship as a co-parent?

Have you ever observed couples that seem crazy in love and you wish that your relationship looked like that? Do you feel like you are missing a significant piece of the puzzle of a happy, long-lasting relationship? Or, maybe you feel like you have tried everything you can think of, to save your marriage but nothing works. And, if asked, you might define your relationship as ongoing conflict and turmoil.

Although puzzling, it may be that sometimes you feel that your spouse is a stranger. After all, your marriage did not start this way. You used to know your spouse so well and everything was going great. It is overwhelming to experience the feeling of uncertainty about your relationship status and where it is headed.

Many of the couples I work with have lost the ability to talk to each other with respect and understanding. Several of them reach the point where it is less painful to stop talking to each other altogether, instead of discussing the same issues over and over again. If you are in this place, or it feels like you are heading there, give me a call. Address the difficult topics and begin to uncover the many reasons that you began your relationship in the first place.
