Therapy with Maryam

Online premarital counseling across California.

Online premarital counseling anywhere in California, for engaged couples and couples thinking about marriage. It's time to talk things through before the wedding.

Who is premarital counseling for?

Premarital counseling is for engaged couples or those considering marriage who want better communication and understanding. Couples may talk through roles at home, money, how involved each family will be, faith, children, and how they handle disagreements. Each person can bring their unique cultural experiences to build shared values.

Couples may share similar values, shared cultural history, and cultural experiences, or come from different backgrounds. I strive to help those from any background, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.

What to expect in these discussions

Premarital counseling is time to talk through what each of you expects from marriage, how you communicate, family, and the values you bring. I believe in working with you to achieve harmony in your life by helping you balance your mind, body, and soul. Couples often want better communication and understanding as they build a future together.

Solution-Focused approaches help address current concerns while preparing for your future together. These sessions offer opportunities to align on shared life goals and better communication. You've taken the first step by seeking therapy. This work creates a safe space where each perspective is valued. I strive to support you in building a life you have always wanted.
