Therapy
Therapy is offered to individuals, couples, families and in certain areas to groups.
Jennifer and Jordan have expertise in family systems theory. Their specialized education in family and relational systems enable them to understand the dynamics of individuals and families, how their backgrounds contribute, and the roles they function in now. They both have distinct training in marriage counseling.
Premarital Counseling
The typical premarital counseling services span six to eight sessions. We suggest and prefer that all couples complete the PREPARE premarital inventory. This test of approximately 165 questions has a one time fee of $29.95 and is payable via credit card and available to be completed by each member of the couple through their email account. Once the test has been completed, the therapist then has access to a 16 page report on the couple’s overall compatibility and preparation for marriage thus far.
Topics examined in this test include:
- Communication
- Conflict Resolution
- Partner Style and Habits
- Financial Management
- Leisure Activities
- Sexuality and Affection
- Family and Friends
- Relationship Roles
- Children and Parenting
- Spiritual Beliefs
After completing this testing process and related discussion the couple will have successfully:
- Explored strength and growth areas
- Strengthened communication skills
- Identified and managed major stressors
- Resolved conflict using the Ten Step Model
- Developed a more balanced relationship
- Explored family of origin issues
- Discussed financial planning and budgeting
- Established personal, couple and family goals
- Understood and appreciate personality differences
This data is used along with a suggested curriculum of topics essential to marital harmony and satisfaction. The therapist additionally collects a list of “hot topics” from past difficulties the couple has faced. These issues are all addressed on an as needed basis, the most urgent being first. The couple can choose to close out premarital counseling in less than six sessions or extend it for more if they and the therapist deem it necessary.
Groups
Emotional Eating Workshop
This is a six week workshop. Fees are collected on a per session basis. Attendance is not mandatory for all six sessions, but it is recommended. Each session will be one hour and fifteen minutes and will include both teaching and discussion. Topics covered will include: Body Image, Mindless Eating, The Shield of Food, Growing Your Awareness and others. The cost for this group is $40 per person per session.
Wounded Heart Group – Victims of Sexual Abuse
This group is for survivors of sexual abuse and in some cases rape victims. Women who have been through these types of trauma often feel like they are the only ones who:
- Find all men repulsive
- Are very promiscuous in their relationships
- Continually find themselves in relationships with other abusers
- Have high degrees of anger which often are directed at those they love
- Find intimacy in marriage very frightening and dissatisfying
If you have ever had some of these thoughts, then this group will convince you that you are not alone and that it does not have to be this way forever. During the sixteen weeks this group meets we will deal with issues that are related to your present condition, and your experiences of the past and the things that you will need to work through to get better.
Each group meets for an hour and a half. A commitment to attend and pay for all sixteen weeks ($40 per week) is required. For more information contact Jennifer Stuckert at 678.534.3824.
Parents of Defiant Children – Support Group.
This will be an open group running for 10 weeks at a time. Issues covered will include: feeling like you are not alone, defining behavioral standards, setting respected limits, taking care of yourself as a parent.
The cost for this group is $45 per family per session. The group size is limited to 6 families at any one time.
