Discernment Counseling
Are you married or in a relationship where you are unsure if you or your partner want to end the relationship or commit to couples therapy? Then discernment counseling may be the right option for you and your partner. Discernment counseling is a short-term process that consists of 1-5 sessions with the goal of greater confidence and clarity in the decision about the direction of the marriage or relationship. The goal is to not solve relationship problems, but to see whether they can be solved.
Discernment counseling consists of three paths:
Path 1- “the status quo” The marriage as it has been. This path is neither divorce nor working in therapy to improve the relationship
Path 2- Separation, divorce, or ending the relationship
Path 3- A 6-month commitment to couples therapy
If you feel like you and your partner can identify with this type of counseling. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions about the process of discernment counseling.
