Dr. Arienzo 's online marriage course was so very helpful to us. We both enjoyed the material as well as the exercises that were included which encouraged the both of us to communicate better than before. The process was easier than we though it would be. 8 hours is not too long when your having so much fun doing the exercise together. The best part is your doing it at your own pace and your having fun at the same time. Once Again hands down the best Online Marriage Course there is.
Took Dr. Arienzos Premarital Online Course and it was so informative, helpful, and a fun course to go through. My fiance and I learned so much about the components to a successful relationship and learned so much about each other as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a premarital course and would highly suggest this to couples before getting married.
I am so grateful to D'Arienzo Psychological Group for helping us through a challenging time in our family member's life. Hands down one of the best in town. Thank you so much for everything!
Dr. D'Arienzo prepared a collaborative session with our middle school students to promote positive relationship building. We will be inviting him again! The student's were responsive and the time spent valuable for all.
