About Spirituality-Focused Therapy at CityCouples™

All couples go through struggles. Your faith has been a strength for you individually, and as a couple, and it can continue to be through relationship distress.

You may not be in distress, and may be seeking therapy to grow as a couple, or to grow spiritually, together. We would be happy to work with you on this path!

At CityCouples™, we integrate the spiritual beliefs and needs of all our clients. We have therapists who identify as spiritual, as well as therapists who identify as Christian, Jewish, and Muslim. Our therapists are able to integrate the worldview of faith into couple therapy.

Your therapist will discuss to what degree (if at all) you wish to incorporate faith and spirituality into your sessions, during your initial welcome session.

Our Therapy Process

Week One: 90-minute Online Welcome Therapy Session

During this session, your therapist will review information you’ve shared in questionnaires provided to you when you scheduled your initial appointment, and answer your questions. You and your therapist will discuss the history of your relationship, including your individual and collective faith history. Your therapist’s main goal is to listen and understand your specific situation. During the final moments of this session, you’ll express your goals for the relationship, and any concerns that you have moving forward. Together with your therapist, you will decide on a therapy path, including number, frequency, and length of sessions.

Week Two through Closing: 60-90 minute Online Couple Therapy Sessions

You and your therapist will work together to address your relationship concerns. In terms of incorporating a faith worldview, your therapist may address the following, if relevant to your circumstances:

• Assess your current relationshp with faith and/or spirituality, and how it interacts with you as a couple

• Assess your commitment level to one another, at this stage, and any associated fears or concerns

• Evaluate your current support systems

• Discuss any crises, or transitions, of faith you may be experiencing

• Invite you to consider possibilities and hope

• And, generally incorporate the principles of your belief system, to the degree you desire

Closing: Final One-Two Therapy Sessions

Once couples reach this stage, they are able to articulate that the problem that brought them to CityCouples™ has been solved. During these final sessions, you as a couple, along with your therapist, will review the progress that you’ve made since session one. You will also develop a plan for moving forward, so that you continue to feel confident about your relationship after therapy ends.

You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your level of satisfaction with the therapy work you’ve done, and to provide feedback. In fact, throughout therapy, your therapist will make sure that you are making progress and will request your ongoing feedback.
