Planning a wedding in Portland? Congratulations — you’re beginning a beautiful new chapter with someone you deeply care about! While you’re choosing your venue — perhaps the Portland Japanese Garden or the Pittock Mansion — take a moment to also think beyond the big day. Marriage is more than just the ceremony — it’s a lifelong commitment that comes with both joys and challenges.
That’s where premarital counseling in Portland, Oregon can help. At Portland Couples Therapy Center, we offer compassionate, practical support to help you and your partner strengthen your bond, improve communication, and prepare for a lasting, happy marriage.
Premarital counseling is a specialized form of relationship therapy for couples planning to marry. It provides a supportive space to explore your expectations, values, and communication styles — helping you build a strong foundation for your marriage.
According to the American Psychological Association, premarital counseling helps couples develop the communication and problem-solving skills they’ll need for a successful marriage.
We welcome clients from across the Portland metro area — including Sellwood, Nob Hill, Mt. Tabor, and Beaverton — offering both in-person and virtual sessions to meet your needs.
Marriage is one of life’s biggest decisions. Whether it’s your first marriage or a second chance at love, thoughtful preparation makes a meaningful difference.
Despite the idea of “happily ever after,” many couples encounter unexpected hurdles. Premarital counseling in Portland helps you prepare for those challenges with confidence, ensuring you and your partner start your marriage on solid ground.
Marriage is a journey filled with ups and downs. How you and your partner handle these moments will shape your life together.
Since everyone has different views on marriage, it’s crucial to find a therapist who understands your goals and concerns.
It’s also important to work with someone who focuses on couples and marriage counseling.
