For those embarking on the journey of marriage, we provide pre-marital counseling, marital counseling sessions, and divorce counseling sessions. These sessions are tailored to equip you and your partner with the tools needed to confidently approach one of the most significant decisions you’ll make in your life.
Pre-marital Counseling:
1
Onboarding & Relationship Assessment.
We start with an open conversation to evaluate your relationship dynamics, values, and areas of strength and growth. Using tools like the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment and our own Pre-Marital Assessments, we gain insights into compatibility and potential challenges before marriage.
2
Value Building & Goal Setting.
Based on the assessment, we work together to establish goals that will guide your pre-marital journey. These goals may focus on key areas such as communication, conflict resolution, managing finances, intimacy, and setting shared life visions. Setting clear goals helps create a strong foundation for your future marriage, ensuring you both feel prepared and aligned.
3
Understanding Marriage in Islam.
We help couples understand what a healthy relationship in Islam looks like in balancing cultural values and religious values. Couples are informed about dowry (mahr), the process of a marriage (nikkah), divorce proceedings (ṭalāq), and other important mechanisms to maintain a healthy relationship.
4
Progression & Plan.
We provide couples with tools for a healthy, lasting marriage using techniques from emotionally focused therapy and the Gottman Method to enhance communication, conflict resolution, and emotional resilience. Follow-up sessions reinforce these skills, address concerns, and ensure long-term growth and connection in the relationship.

Divorce Counseling:
1
Onboarding & Emotional Assessment.
In this initial phase, we will assess your emotional state and the circumstances surrounding your decision to seek divorce. Through open and honest dialogue, we will explore both partners’ feelings, the history of your relationship, and the underlying issues leading to the potential divorce. This assessment allows us to gain a clear understanding of whether reconciliation or separation is the most beneficial path forward.
2
Understanding & Clarity Building.
In the second step, we continue the assessment by focusing on building clarity regarding your relationship. Together, we will evaluate whether reconciliation is possible or if divorce is the best option. If reconciliation is determined to be the ideal path, we will set goals to heal and rebuild the relationship. However, if divorce is deemed necessary, we will begin preparing for the next steps in a respectful and compassionate manner that aligns with Islamic principles.
3
Implementation & Reconciliation Strategy (if applicable).
If reconciliation is the chosen path, we will implement a tailored strategy to move forward and heal the relationship. This includes working on communication skills, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust between both partners. Using methods from emotionally focused therapy or Gottman-based approaches, we will focus on restoring the emotional connection and creating a plan for a healthy future together.
4
Implementation & Islamic Divorce Strategy (if applicable).
If divorce is determined to be the best course of action, we will work together to ensure that the process is handled in a dignified and respectful manner. We will provide guidance on proceeding with an Islamic divorce (ṭalāq or khulʿah), focusing on addressing any legal, emotional, and spiritual concerns. This phase will also involve creating a plan for co-parenting, financial responsibilities, and post-divorce healing to ensure that both parties are supported as they move forward.
