FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee for couples who have definitely decided to get married and have chosen a date is $500.00 (which includes 7 one-hour pre-marital counseling sessions, the wedding rehearsal, and the wedding ceremony). My fee for couples who are considering marriage but have not definitely decided to go forward is $75.00 per one-hour session. I do not take insurance.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I only provide counseling for couples who have decided to get married or who are considering marriage. I only counsel with both parties present.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church. My educational degrees include: B.A. degree from Emory & Henry College, Emory, Virginia (1969); Master of Divinity, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC (1973); Doctor of Ministry, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC (1973); completed 18 hours toward a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, Loyola University, Baltimore, MD (1991-present). My credentials are as a licensed pastor, not as a licensed counselor.
