Carpenter Couple & Family Counseling, PLLC
Erica Carpenter, Ph.D., LMFT-S
Prepare/Enrich
PREPARE
​
Erica is a Prepare/Enrich facilitator. Prepare/Enrich is one of the leading premarital curriculum programs, and is backed by a great deal of research. As part of the Prepare/Enrich process, each partner takes an assessment that will provide a snapshot of your relationship in various areas, including communication, conflict management, relationship roles, and more.​ You will then join Erica for a number of feedback sessions where she will help you focus in on the areas that are most relevant to you and learn skills to build a strong, healthy relationship.
What it looks like:
1. Each partner takes an online assessment that measures various areas of your relationship.
2. Erica will receive a report of the assessment results and will use these results to focus on the areas most relevant to your relationship needs.
3. Both partners will receive a workbook in the first feedback session, which will be used throughout sessions to learn and practice new relationship skills.
4. You and Erica will work on relevant areas over the course of your feedback sessions.
​
Investment:
$45 up front to cover assessment registration and a workbook for each partner
$200 per feedback session
​​
Erica is also a Twogether in Texas service provider. This means that upon the completion of 8 feedback sessions, you will receive a certificate that can be presented to a Texas county clerk for up to $60 off your marriage license fee and waiving of the 72-hour waiting period.

ENRICH
​
Already married? There is also an Enrich assessment for married couples that is similar to the Prepare assessment, but tailored to married couples. Similar to the Prepare process laid out above, you and your partner will take an assessment and the results will be used to focus on relevant areas in your feedback sessions. If you are interested in this service, please reach out to Erica to get more information.
