Our Clinical Approach, Now Available Online

For years, Cadenza Counseling provided live, 1-on-1 premarital counseling to help couples navigate communication, finances, and conflict resolution. While we are no longer accepting new couples for live 1-on-1 sessions, we haven’t stopped supporting couples.

Founder Krissi Franzen (LMHC, LPC) has distilled her years of inclusive, clinical experience directly into our state-approved online premarital courses. Now, you can get the exact same psychological frameworks and communication tools on your own schedule—while simultaneously meeting your state’s legal requirements for a marriage license.

What “Inclusive” Means to Us

Many traditional premarital courses rely on outdated stereotypes or specific religious frameworks. Our online curriculum is built differently. We believe that every couple deserves high-quality, affirming relationship education.

• ✅ LGBTQ+ Affirming: Our courses celebrate all couples and address the unique dynamics of same-sex and queer relationships.
• ✅ Neurodivergent Friendly: Clear, straightforward concepts without confusing jargon, designed to accommodate different learning styles.
• ✅ Modern & Practical: We tackle real-world issues like emotional labor, modern financial planning, and boundary-setting with in-laws.
