Counseling Solutions For Couples

Building Blocks Family Counseling provides the following services for couples:

Premarital Counseling

Recently engaged or making plans to marry ? Building Blocks Family Counseling offers premarital counseling to help couples learn to navigate the difficult times with ease. Premarital counseling has shown to reduce the risk of divorce by 30%. Start your marriage off on the right track by investing in your relationship through premarital counseling. The premarital counseling package includes eight sessions at a discounted rate.

Couples Counseling

Couples counseling is best for couples who are interested in repairing their relationship, want to get their relationship back on track, or want to learn how to decide if you’re a great match for each other.  Couples counseling can help provide the tools to revitalize a tired relationship or create and sustain a relationship that is healthy and happy.

Marriage Counseling

Studies show that when couples start having relationship problems, they wait an average of 7 years before seeking help. Building Blocks Family Counseling offers marriage counseling for couples who are invested in continuing to grow, connect, and engage with each other. This type of counseling can be helpful for relationship maintenance, staying connected,  or for those who are beginning to notice that the “honeymoon phase” is fizzling. Marriage counseling is also a great tool for those who are planning a family and want to prepare for the adjustment and transition that comes along with bringing a baby home.

All Premarital, Couples, and Marriage counseling is based on The Gottman Method and includes the Gottman Relationship Check Up Assessment. 

Discernment Counseling

Discernment counseling is offered for couples who are trying to decide if they want to stay together or split up, or for couples who have mixed agendas (one person wants to split, one person wants to stay together). This is designed for couples where the idea of a breakup, separation, or divorce is on the table for consideration. Our therapists can help you to weigh all the necessary factors to make a decision and support you in your decision. We will never tell you what you NEED to do, rather, we give you the space and the time to decide that for yourself.

    • Dear Parent/Guardian:

      Your student has been referred to the School Counseling Telehealth Program with Building Blocks Family Counseling. This is a collaboration between the Effingham School System and Building Blocks Family Counseling- a mental health private practice with locations in Savannah, Pooler, and Rincon.

      How does it work?

      A referral will be sent from your student’s school counselor to Building Blocks. You will receive a call from our office to set up an appointment, get insurance information, complete paperwork, etc. An online intake appointment will be scheduled for your student during the school day (based on times provided by the school counselor). An online intake appointment will also be scheduled between your student’s therapist and yourself to gather information regarding your student. The Therapist will schedule routine parent/guardian check-ins with you and family sessions as needed. Sessions with students will generally be weekly (during school hours) and last for 30-45 minutes. Parent/Guardian sessions can be held during or after school hours and last for 45-50 minutes.

      Paperwork Needed

      In order to provide these services we need the following paperwork completed for each student. A new client intake packet, child/adolescent questionnaire, and a release of information for the school counselor. We will be coordinating sessions with your student through the school counselors at their school so it is important we have the release of information completed.

      Appointments

      Appointment reminders via email, text, and phone will be sent the day before any scheduled appointments. Please make sure we have the best contact information on file so you will receive all of the reminders.

      If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to address these with your therapist. If you feel like your student no longer needs services, please also communicate this with your therapist.
