“I love premarital counseling! Working with couples is such a joy and I often see couples who just weren’t able to see a therapist until years after a problem started. How wonderful it is for couples to start off with a great foundation. It can really help with supporting you as life’s ebs and flows come along”- Mikela Hallmark, Atlanta premarital counselor
