Discernment Counseling

Discernment Counseling is designed for couples where at least one partner is uncertain about the future of the relationship. Rather than assuming therapy is the next step, it creates space to slow down and make a thoughtful decision — whether that means beginning couples therapy, separating, or choosing to stay the course for now.

The process is structured and time-limited. Sessions begin together, move into individual conversations with the therapist, and then return to a joint discussion to share what came up and consider next steps. Those steps may lead to couples therapy, to separation, or simply to staying where you are with more awareness. Whatever direction feels right, the goal is to arrive there with intention.
