Frequently Asked Questions
Who are your ideal clients?
I work with Black and/or Muslim women facing burnout, identity challenges, or overwhelming pressure, as well as career-driven Muslim couples preparing for marriage or in the early years of marriage. My clients are ready to invest in intentional, actionable growth—to reclaim clarity, balance, and alignment in life and relationships before challenges become entrenched.
What can I expect in a session?
For Individuals
Expect guided, purposeful work that goes beyond conversation. Sessions focus on uncovering the roots of burnout, identity struggles, or emotional patterns that keep you carrying too much. You’ll explore your priorities, reflect on what truly matters, and gain tangible tools to create a sustainable, aligned life.
For Couples
Sessions are structured, focused, and action-oriented to help couples identify areas of misalignment, navigate engagement or early marriage stress, and practice communication strategies that strengthen connection. You’ll explore patterns in your interactions, gain shared language for understanding, and leave with practical tools to foster clarity, alignment, and lasting intimacy.
How deep we go depends on the commitment you bring — I show up fully, and I ask that you’re ready to pause, reflect, and engage in work that aligns your life or relationship with what truly matters.
How do I schedule a session?
You can schedule directly online or contact me via email (info@rouamft.com). Sessions are intentional, private, and structured for clients ready to invest in growth, whether it’s personal clarity or relationship alignment.
How does couples therapy differ from Prepare/Enrich?
Couples therapy is ongoing, long-term work for partners navigating conflict patterns, relational tension, or family stress. It’s ideal for couples wanting long-term support through engagement and the early years of marriage, with sessions focused on communication, connection, and resilience.
Prepare/Enrich is a structured, 8-session program with a comprehensive couples assessment. It provides visual insights into strengths, growth areas, and relational patterns, and offers practical communication strategies. This program is perfect for couples who want a focused, high-impact experience to address misalignment and build a strong foundation without committing to ongoing therapy.
What is the session fee?
Individual and couples therapy sessions are $250 for 45–50 minutes, reflecting the in-depth, specialized support and guidance provided.
What is the fee for Prepare/Enrich?
The Prepare & Enrich program is a structured 8-session couples experience, designed to build clarity, alignment, and communication skills before patterns become entrenched.
Assessment Fee: $35 per couple. You’ll receive login information and access to the comprehensive assessment, which provides insights into your relationship’s strengths, growth areas, and potential misalignment.
Session Fee: Each of the 8 sessions is $250 per session.
Total investment: $2,035 for the full program if all 8 sessions are completed.
This per-session structure gives couples flexibility while maintaining the focused, high-impact nature of the program. It’s ideal for couples preparing for marriage or in the early years of marriage who want actionable growth, practical communication strategies, and a strong foundation for lasting connection.
Do you offer sliding scale, reduced fee, or pro bono sessions?
Sliding scale or reduced-fee sessions are very limited and available only for individual therapy clients who would not otherwise be able to access support. Couples therapy and Prepare/Enrich are full-fee to maintain program structure and effectiveness.
What is your rescheduling policy?
Once a session is scheduled, it’s considered confirmed. You may reschedule to any available time the week before, the same week, or the week after your scheduled session. If that isn’t possible, a limited number of grace passes per calendar year allow cancellation without penalty.
