Premarital Counseling in Boulder, CO
Prevention First Threapy® for
Relationship Wellness™
Design your marriage with intention.
From Engagement to Preventative Relationship Health™
Therapy That Strengthens Your Foundation
Love lasts longer when it’s built on skill, not luck.
Your engagement isn’t just about planning a wedding — it’s about building a life. At Lovers Counseling, we elevate premarital work into a private, curated experience designed for couples who want more than vows — they want a vision, a roadmap, and a marriage anchored in intimacy and trust.
The Lovers Counseling Method™
Our proprietary prevention-first relationship counseling framework promotes Preventive Relationship Health™. We believe the engagement chapter is one of the best times to set the intention for your marriage and craft your relationship goals. We believe it’s easier to redirect than it is to repair, conflict can be a growth point, and learning relational skills is the key to a happy marriage.
Why Choose Lovers Counseling?
At Lovers Counseling, you’ll experience a prevention‑first, luxury standard of care designed to help you start strong:
✔️ Rooted in Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and IFS/IFIO
✔️ Trauma‑informed, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and non‑judgmental
✔️ Clear structure + practical tools you’ll use for life
✔️ Private, concierge‑level experience in Boulder or via telehealth (CO)
✔️ Optional skill‑building worksheets and between‑session practices
You’re not just planning a wedding—you’re designing a marriage.
Building Relationship Intelligence™ with The Lovers Method™
Our Proven Therapy Methods for Premarital Counseling in Boulder, CO
We tailor each session to support you unique engagement needs:
The Gottman Method: Research‑backed tools for communication, conflict, trust, and friendship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Build secure attachment, repair quickly, and reconnect deeply.
IFS / IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out): Understand parts, reduce reactivity, and respond with care.
Imago & Relational Work: Turn triggers into opportunities for growth and understanding.
Transpersonal Counseling: Align relationship with meaning, values, and vision.
All work is delivered with warmth, clarity, and a trauma‑informed lens.
What to Expect in Premarital Counseling?
All of our sessions follow The Lovers Method™, a prevention-first counseling framework. The first session is a design session—where you are now, where you want to go, and what will get you there. From there, we’ll tailor a roadmap to your timeline and goals. You’ll leave with:
A shared vision + values alignment
A conflict map and a repair plan that actually works
Tools for emotional regulation and de‑escalation
Clarity on money, roles, family dynamics, sex + intimacy, and long‑term goals
Practices to keep intimacy alive across seasons of life
Each 55-minute session is private, confidential, and personalized. Sessions may be extended into 90-minute deep-dives for couples who want more time and space to explore transformative conversations. Ongoing support is available after the wedding through Couples Counseling on a weekly, bi-weekly, or at a rhythm that fits your life.
What We Cover (and Customize)
We help couples work through:
Communication that creates safety (and ends the “same fight”)
Conflict styles, repair strategies, and de‑escalation
Trust, boundaries, and handling external stress (work, family, distance)
Sex, intimacy, and desire differences
Money—budgets, roles, risk tolerance, and transparency
Family dynamics, traditions, and in‑law boundaries
Roles, household load, and decision‑making
Relationship goals, purpose, meaning, and rituals
Parenting hopes, timelines, and values
Life transitions—career moves, relocation, caregiving, grief
You don’t have to be in crisis to be in counseling.
You don’t have to be in counseling to begin.
You only have to want your marriage to thrive.
Specialized Focus: Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Our sex therapy blends compassionate support with evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll explore your intimacy struggles without shame, pressure, or blame. You’ll gain new insights into your emotional and physical connection, deepen trust, and discover ways to experience closeness that feels nourishing — not transactional.
Every couple deserves a thriving connection — and that includes the bedroom.
"Whenever two souls are connected in love, healing has occurred."
