I will be transparent and say that I have been waiting to get married for some time. I am also certified to conduct premarital counseling as a Christian Chaplain.
The activities provided through D'Arienzo Psychology were fun and thought-provoking.
The subjects covered were thorough and necessary to meet the standards by my state (GA).
I am especially thankful for the array of services provided outside of premarital counseling; and the personal attention that I received when I thought I had a problem. I got off the phone with a human being (young lady who emailed me and answered the phone who spoke with me so kindly and it made my day.
Bless you and your office. I recommend your services especially premarital counseling for those having expedient ceremonies. Certificate was here within 3 business days.
I will be married Dec 20, 2020.
I studied the High Conflict Co Parenting Course. I listened to it twice, it was so profoundly true. What a great educational tool for parents struggling with difficult co-parents and trying to make sense of to succeed with adversity. Both co-parents should undertake the course for self awareness and strategies. Dr D'Arienzo is great to listen to as well.
Dr. D was great!
Helped me understand my anxiety and how best to deal with it! Whole experience was easy and stress free. Dr D was incredibly easy to communicate with through the whole process Would definitely recommend!!
My spouse and I loved this course . It was so easy to navigate . We loved the fact that it will be available to us for the next year so we can always refer back to the information . The course was very reasonably priced compared to other courses that were recommended to us . I would recommend anyone in the state of Fl to take this course .
