Premarital counseling reimagined for modern relationships.
Thoughtful, therapist-led experience for couples who want a strong partner, not just a beautiful wedding.
Better together starts here.
Created by Dr. Annabelle Seife, a licensed clinical psychologist and couples therapist, Before the Leap (BtL) is a premarital counseling approach for couples entering the next phase of their relationship. We see ‘happily ever after’ as the start of your lifelong love story - not the ending. This is science-backed premarital counseling for couples who want more than just a wedding - they want a resilient, connected partnership.
Think of it as the modern alternative to traditional premarital couples programs, rooted in relationship science. The goal isn’t perfection - it’s helping couples understand each other more deeply and build tools they can return to throughout marriage. And unlike some traditional pre-marital counseling programs, we welcome and celebrate all relationships, including those that are LGBTQ+, interfaith, and alternative structures.
Prenuptial Agreement Counseling
If you and your partner are running up against blocks in the prenuptial process that seem more about communication and emotion than legal terms, Prenuptial Alignment Counseling with a therapist can be a great next step. Prenuptial Alignment Counseling is a short-term couples therapy designed to help partners understand each other emotionally so they can move ahead with the prenup process confidently — and get back to enjoying each other.
