Are you:

As a caring and experienced Ventura Wedding Officiant and Oxnard Wedding Officiant, licensed clergyman, and a Ph.D in Counseling Psychology, trained/certified in couple’s counseling, I am ready to guide pre-married (dating or engaged) and married couples through a 3-Session Series/structured curriculum designed to help prepare for marriage &/or enhance your relationship by:

 

1) Realistically assessing your relationship;

2) Exploring important topics you might otherwise avoid;

3) Developing communication and conflict resolution skills;

4) Becoming aware of important issues that need to be addressed for developing a thriving marriage that lasts for a lifetime :)

 

Pre-marriage Counseling:

If you are seriously dating or already an engaged couple seeking counsel while considering or planning your wedding, then kindly contact me, Rev Dr. Joe (text 202-643-7563) or click on the "Contact" tab”. 

Premarital Counseling provided by The Rev. Dr. Joe has been approved by the Prepare-Enrich program. This program allows a seriously dating or already engaged couple to take an approved pre-marriage counseling 3-Session Series where you can learn the skills and acquire the tools you will need for a successful marriage relationship.

 

Marriage or Re-marriage Counseling:

If you are married, considering marriage or remarriage, I have a 3-Session Series to help you navigate the unique issues associated with marriage and parenting or remarriage, step-parenting, and blended families.

 

COUPLE'S CHECKUP:

I would be honored to meet with you/work with you regarding your “Couple Checkup” Relationship Assessment online results, should you desire to have my facilitation and counseling expertise. I also offer this “Couple Checkup” Relationship Assessment 3-Session Series as a private couple 1- Day Event or Overnight/Weekend Retreat, or Vow Renewal Retreat  at The Guest Suite .  

It’s a wonderful way to enhance your relationship, celebrate your love, your anniversary, or renew your vows on an intimate, exciting getaway Retreat at The Guest Suite (minimum 2 night/overnight lodging @ additional fee).

 

The goal of the “Couple Checkup” as Relationship Enhancement is:

1)  Couples will learn how to make a good relationship or marriage even better;

2)  Couples will have a Relationship Enhancement tool they can regularly use to sharpen their skills for growth by enhancing their strengths;

3)  Couples will discover their specific next steps to a stronger relationship.

The Prepare-Enrich Website and Facebook page, as well as The Couple’s Checkup site, are intended to be a continuing resource to you on your relationship journey of building and enriching a strong marriage.  I hope you will take full advantage of these resources :)
